The silver spacer beads measure between 3mm and 6mm. The Himalayan filigree pendant measures 2.5' in width by 2" in height and has intricate details od coral and turquoise cabochons. The necklace measures 22” in length. I finished it with an ol silver S hook clasp closure. You will receive the exact necklace shown in the pictures. The ancient history of jewelry making in Nepal began unofficially in the 5th century after different religions were discovered. Nepalese people are basically divided into different classes of people according to their work such as Brahmins, Khastriyas, Vaisyas, Sudras, etc. Since there are different classes, the existence of different styles of jewelry is to be expected. The process of jewelry making is mostly created by women and girls. Making as well as wearing jewelry has always been a big part of life for Nepalese and Tibetan people as wearing a particular style or pieces of jewelry is linked directly with the spirituality of life in both countries, bringing commonality of culture to both regions. Most pieces of jewelry are designed and produced with significance to the wearer. There is belief that these pieces of jewelry also protect the wearer, much like an amulet with many metals and stones having unique properties. Turquoise and coral are the most common stones used. Turquoise represents the sea and the sky. Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Lalitpur, the major cities of Nepal house most of jewelry makers and showrooms. The local makers in these cities focus in making silver jewelry with the presence of showrooms being owned by families who have been in the business for two decades or more.
