| Sterling silver necklace, gemstone necklace, pearl necklace, and other forms of necklace. are handcrafted by the traditional artisans of Jaipur in Rajasthan. Every religious community in India uses amulet jewelry. Of the metals, gold and silver are especially favored for they are felt to be sacred and pure. Particularly widespread are flat, sheet metal amulets, stamped or inscribed with magic inscriptions, occult symbols, or images of deities - usually the wearer's chosen deity, whom he elects to worship. Amulets can be worn on any part of the body, but especially near the ears, nose, and the pudenda, to guard against the surreptitious entry of spirits through those bodily openings. They may also be placed at the temples, around the neck, on the upper arm, the wrist, chest, waist, ankles and toes. Amulets can be elaborately decorated and at times their embellishment reaches an astonishing richness that transforms them into highly ornamental jewels. |

OK was looking for something else but this looks a winner for me thanks.
Truly an Indian design. Their silver necklaces are made with a lot of gemstone beads and a gray silver type.
These kind of jewelries are very assorted with the natural seasons out there, and this red necklace with a late autumn especialy.
I was extremely happy after getting the valentine gift from my husband. He bought me a romantic silver carnelian necklace amulet and embraced me suddenly on our last valentine. I was exhilarated by his hug and necklace too. It is handmade silver embellished with gemstones. It gives me a historic look of 16th and 17th century Indian people and also makes a great casual and party accessory. Loads of love to my husband for getting me a perfect valentine gift!
Nice necklace. I hope I will come back and buy one silver carnelian necklace for my wife to impress her on this Christmas.
