A bold vintage ethnic beaded necklace, Tibet or Nepal, circa 1960's - 1990's. This beautiful piece has been finely strung with a total of 30 beads, a combination of raw turquoise, glass and traditional red and yellow beads. In Buddhism both light and dark aspects of the color blue are important. In general terms turquoise is a symbol of the blue of the sea and the sky. Infinity in the sky speaks of the limitless heights of ascension. The stone is opaque as the earth, yet it lifts the spirit high, laying bare to us the wisdom of both the earth and the sky. The necklace is in very good condition showing a fair amount of expected wear. It weighs approximately 92 grams and measures 28.5 inches (72.39 cm) long by 0.79 inches (2 cm) wide at the widest point. Delightful!

Excellent
