Unusual Old Silver Necklace Handcrafted in Jalalabad
This elegant one-of-a-kind vintage necklace was skillfully handcrafted during the mid-1900's by tribal jewelry artisans in Jalalabad Afghanistan during happier times. It is in excellent condition, with a mild age patina giving it a glow from the passage of time.
The central pendant and side-links were all meticulously made of silver, accented with red beads. The design of each component is 3-dimensional, giving this necklace an aspect of depth.
It was crafted using a filigree-style technique, with swirling loops of silver wire joined together for a beautiful and characteristic design. This is a unique piece of old Afghan jewelry in excellent condition.
