For the pleasure of your eyes is a gorgeous antique Yemenite Badihi choker necklace. The necklace is made using a variety of pendants and droplets which leave the eyes admiring every single part of this masterpiece.
The necklace uses triangle-shaped end pendants with a matching square center inlaid with red glass. Beneath that, the focal point of the necklace is a matching half-moon pendant hanging in the center. These pieces all have similar matching granule patterns, which means the pieces are original and intact.
Additionally, antique bulbous pendants are obvious along with smaller ‘whale’ pendants in between. And hanging from each whale pendant are silver disk pendants with additional detailing of their own. Next to the whale pendants are antique bulbous pendants.
Overall, this necklace is so gorgeously detailed with varying pieces of pendants that it leaves one to sit and appreciate each piece. A lovely museum quality item we are very happy to present to you!
Please note: NECKLACE IS READY to be worn (unless we state otherwise).
Please note that the original owner took it upon themselves to add artificial patina (please note the center focal pendant which has a smudgy dark green look). This is an artificial attempt to create patina. This can be easily removed with a quick scrub.
