Vintage alpaca silver and carnelian necklace in the sale of a heart.
This style of jewellery was originally hand crafted and traditionally made in Afghanistan and surrounding countries (Turkmen tribal craftsmanship).
Please note, this is a very old piece and consequently shows signs of wear. Please take this into account when ordering - its all part of the charm and character.
The main material used is alpaca silver, an alloy of copper, nickel, and zinc. Sometimes called Nickel Silver or German Silver. It is traditionally used to create these pieces.
Your pendant will arrive in a smart recycled gift box. All postage and packaging materials are also recycled.
I have hung it on sustainable hemp (just a temporary measure). Feel free to add your own chain or cord.
If purchasing as a gift, handmade recycled cards are also available in my shop - https://ecooctopus.etsy.com
