Kuchi tribal necklace, wrapped with red glass seed beads with a few small jewels on eight large vintage coin pendants. Coin necklaces have been around since the development of coins as a monetary exchange - an easy and portable way to carry your wealth. This one is made from matching coins and embellished with a seed bead-wrapped cord. This necklace is not super old, but is traditional and a lovely way to keep that pesky evil eye at bay!
In tribal life, vintage components and findings are often reused and repurposed to add adornment to new clothing, jewelry and accessory pieces. You can also find them on animal trappings and objects that the owner wishes to keep safe from evil influences. As the embellished item wears and eventually becomes unusable, the pieces that can be saved are repurposed to embellish a newer item. Think of them as the original recycling!

A NOTE ON THE CONDITION OF TRIBAL ITEMS: Our jewelry is used tribal jewelry, from faraway lands. As used pieces our items will be tarnished or otherwise reflect their prior lives as treasured tribal pieces. Please know that we strive to maintain the tribal allure of our items and therefore we do not clean or repair these pieces in any way. We leave that choice to the buyer, as each may prefer something different. This not only maintains the old, tribal look of each piece that our belly dance customers seek, but also preserves the value of a piece that cleaning might destroy.
