The rare stone beads featured in this neckpiece likely hail from the ancient valley between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, fashioned into these unusual forms by the Sumerians (circa 2600 BC). The pendant is articulated on a 22kt gold bespoke hinged bale hanging from a necklace of ancient faïence and ceramic beads mixed with fine Japanese Akoya pearls. Our signature serpent clasp and detailing complements the fine and exquisite craftsmanship from this extraordinary period of ancient times.
