Broad Collar

Broad Collar - sterling tabs strung with carnelian, turquoise rounds, Afghan lapis barrels, and sterling beads; sterling findings.

Approx 19" with 1.5" extender.

This piece is influenced by the ancient Egyptian Wesekh or Usekh (meaning width or breadth) collars worn by deities, men or women. I used the traditional stones of carnelian, lapis and turquoise; replacing gold with sterling.
