This extraordinary old tribal jewelry necklace was handcrafted during the mid to early 1900's in the lush Kashmir Valley at the base of the Himalayas. It is a traditional Kashmiri ceremonial shirshiri style, with multiple small charm-pendants fluttering on woven chains across the bodice. 

A large heart-shaped Kashmiri pendant in the center is incised with floral patterns, and a bright red eye-shaped bead has been added to the center, almost as an afterthought. The chains along the sides are generously laden with bell-fringed bell caps, which clatter together for a wonderful sound with movement.

A warm age patina remains, giving this necklace a glow that only the passage of time can create. Recently added ties allow for adjusting the length as desired.
