This striking vintage tribal-style necklace features an elaborate, old-world design with a dramatic fringe silhouette and richly colored natural stones. The piece showcases a combination of turquoise-tone stones, red coral-like beads, deep blue stones, and pearl-like accents, all set into heavily worked metal components that give the necklace a powerful antique aesthetic.


The central body and decorative elements of this necklace were professionally XRF gun-tested using a high-end jeweler’s X-ray analyzer commonly used in downtown Los Angeles jewelry district. Testing confirms the primary decorative components are composed of approximately 60% silver, with the remaining balance consisting of copper and other alloy metals typical of vintage tribal jewelry.


The lobster clasp is solid 925 sterling silver and stamped accordingly.

The connecting black chain is NOT silver and appears to be a non-precious metal (possibly blackened steel or similar alloy), which is common in older or tribal-assembled pieces.


This necklace has not been polished and retains its original surface character, patina, and wear — consistent with vintage or possibly antique condition. The exact origin is unknown, but the craftsmanship and materials suggest a tribal / Middle Eastern / North African–inspired design rather than a modern mass-produced piece.


Total weight: approximately 178 grams.
