Questions & Comments
I dont see how bookworm7 ties this to Wicca, looks Artisan to me
Excellent item!!! I think this is one of the most stunning representations of Nomadic tribal wear I have seen in a long time. If it is a knock off it is STUNNING! The only way it would be a "knock off" is if it is Alpaca silver made in Mexico or Thiland...btu i am sure this is not. This looks to be made by skilled craftsmen of Badakhshan in Afghanistan. They loved using blue lapis as it was plentiful in that region at the time. I have featured your auction on my auction titled: "What Cha Talkin' Bout?" Flate Rate Mystery Box List YOUR Auctions >> HERE << I don't know why because I want to win this...lol. I wish you the best and welcome to Listia!
why thank you. i no the blue stone is prtty right i love stones always have and this one has two clours in it. it always seem a mystery to me but then again my life has always been a mystery. and now im trying to get the hang of this listia its fun for sure even if i dont no what im doing, but the nice thing also about it all is im getting to no0 so many nice people. and thank you.
really im not sure what it is, i took other pictures and send them to listia to add on so everyone can see the back and end of the chain and a clouse up on the stone. i hope they got it this time, so everyone can see all they ask, im not sure what it is but it sure is diffrent and i have been carrying it with me every were, i go. i hope who ever wins it can please just clean it and could i see what it looks like. if not please just take good care of it as i have, the only reason im letting it go is because im not really sure just going with my heart is all.
no my dear friend its not missing no stones. its just a shape of a fish on each side. dont see were them are anystones ones there. it just has some kind of art there it has just three blue gold stone most blue but the yellow or gold is mix in it in some places. god i feel so dum trying to tell you what it is, but it is all good. one thing i no for sure its diffrent i no i got that all right
I was thinking that it looked old, really old. The shepherd's hook for the closure is what was used in vintage items and with the patina it has, the look of the metal, etc..it looks at least vintage if not older. Hard to say from just pictures, though. And of course you can buy those closures anywhere nowadays. The chain actually looks newer than the pendant.
When you say barn sale, did they give you any history behind the piece? I love it, it's unique and very interesting!
yes, i was also wondering where you got this piece? you said at a barn sale? was there lots of vintage items? this does look like an old piece tho, and i have some old sterling necklaces that are not labeled sterling that i can see, so it could very well be sterling!! it is definately gorgeous!! you have good taste!! welcome to listia!! this is a great place!! i'll be bidding on this!!! =)
at a barn sale in a dresser it was ment to come my way i guss all my life its been like that with things like this i never no what it is but when i let something go it seems like something new comes along. i dont no why
what is a vintage all i no on my travels i stop places when i felt liuke it just went with my heart always. one day i saw this old barn with this old farmer out side setting so i stop and said hi are you having a barn sale he said yes. i said ok ill look but i dont have npo room in my car for any cows he laugh. so as i was looking around i saw this old dresser i went to open one of the drawers and it got stock. so9 i reach my hand in side under neioth and i felt something there and it was this neckless and a strange ring. i said sir i want the little dresser and it will fit in trunk. i almost got a chicken to but did not, but anyway i told him about the neckless and ring he said you no what little lady some people would of never said nothing about that. i said thats ok i was just byeing the dresser but i keep feeling drawn to it. then he said you no what it seems they was ment for you. i said yes that happens to me alot, drawn to things irt comes my way then i no when to let it go. so thgats the story of the neckless and the ring, i try to put the ring on here alsao but i could not get the pictures to go on. the ring is even more diffrentr for sure. you cant miss the stone on the ring its big and purple. but it dont look like they came from the same place. but im not sure what to do with the ring yet,
looks like vintage Kuchi Tribal jewelry, or Afghani jewelry. I love it! Very nice. And the stone looks like lapis lazuli- the middle eastern tribes use it alot in their jewelry, which they create by melting down coins, pouring, molding it, hammering it out, etc. So it's in all likelihood made of silver alloy.
ok i got it i think i send a message to listia asking them if i could put a few more pictures of what some of you have ask they was nice and said yes all i had to do is send them to them i hope and prsay i did it right. i took pictures of back and the chain was not easy. its easyer taking pictures of my self lol you no the more pictures i keep taking the more in love im falling for it heeee its not hard to do. good luck. i get felling from it. it would make a great wall peace also. what i keep thinking is who made it. all i want is for someone to take good care of it o ya and clean it i did not no how to and did not want to ruin it. but im sure it will look so pretty clean
o ok its not like someone taking a vintage right. yes it is a cool peace for sure, i no in my heart it will go to someone specail im sure, and i hope they take care of it as i have
The lapis lazuli stone's gold flecks are pyrite. Found this info online: "Lapis lazuli is an opaque gem stone that may range in color from brilliant, to medium royal, to dark blue. Its composition consists of a mixture of several different minerals including, the predominance of lazurite (25-40%), hüaynite, sodalite, noselite, calcite and pyrite. Small amounts of diopside, augite, mica and hornblende may also be present. Lapis lazuli generally occurs in crystalline limestone as the result of contact metamorphism.
Lapis lazuli gets its brilliant blue color from its sulfur content. The more evenly the color is distributed throughout the stone, the higher the quality, and the greater the value. Lapis generally occurs with a speckled and strained consistency, with glittering inclusions of iron pyrite. If the pyrite is well distributed, the stones beauty may be enhanced adding to its genuineness."
wow i have always love stones even when i was a little girl. im so happy for who ever gets this specail peace, who ever gets it will get a peice of my heart with it for sure, cause i belive when someone has heart with something it has to have lots of love in it i have indian in me maybe thats why my heart is the way it is. maybe thats why im so drawn to such things, my grampa said my great grampa was a shaman im not sure what all that means but im sure him to was specail. i saw him were this neckless in a picture it sure look specail also. so maybe someone specail wore this peace also. one never knows who wore it never mind what it is but im learning alot finding out thank you
im not sure but yes it has blue stones. i dont think its all sterrling silver i have never done nothing with it never clean it i just had it setting in a box all this time . and the stones are what was in it .i think they are blue lapis i want to say truth always of what i no ok. it is very diffrent for sure
pendant is 2 and 3 quater by 2 the stone is hafe inch wide one inch long. and the lengh of chain is 18 inchs, has three stones, blue with some gold mix in it or yellow i think. its very unique also has on the pendant part looks like tow fish one on each side. and three circles of some kind of flowers or something it needs to be clean i did not clean it i was scared to did not want to hurt it in anyway, so i have left it as it was when i got it
Is the lower part of the necklace missing a stone? Those three posts, and the shiner spot surrounding the middle makes it look like it had a stone that was shaped like those on the chain, but turned the opposite direction...? Can you tell what I mean?
ok i might sound dum but how do i get back on the page of the neckless so i can add more pictures of it like the back of it and the end of the chain. thanks if anyone can let me no.
ok the back is flat i cant add no more pictures i was trying, and yes it has a chain and you can hooh it its very nice done. whop ever did it. i do not see no writing on the back. but a lot of detail work the chain is nice very will done, alot of work on the chain.
