Vintage Yemen Turquoise and Carnelian Pendant or Brooch

A lovely vintage Yemen 9.25 silver pendant with a central Carnelian cabochon and tiny Turquoise insets. Made in Israel in the 1970's, the intricate detailing is made entirely by hand using age old techniques by the Yemenites.

Photo 3 shows the reverse side, with a bail at the top allowing it to be worn as a pendant, or if preferred, as a brooch.

The pendant in photo 4 is threaded with a suede cord on a mannequin to give a better perspective of size.

Size: 50mm wide x 90mm deep including dangles
