Silver and Coral Necklace from the Nyoma / Chanthang area of Ladakh

Such pieces are usually found in 2 rows of coral and silver - making this triple row unusual!

Superb antique collectible that can also be worn

Age unknown but estimated to be 50-60 years old

With the prosperity in Ladakh in the recent years, such outstanding heirloom pieces hardly ever come up for sale.
