Old Javanese Pendant on South Sea Keshi Necklace

This fabulous and very old gold item was sourced in the far reaches of Indonesia. Originally an ear ornament that hails from one of the many island cultures in this great archipelago. Detail suggests Java or nearby Flores. This original ear ornament is exquisitely placed here as pendant on a strand of incredibly white and very fine Australian South Sea keshi pearls, with 22kt contemporary gold beads fashioned to match pendant. Stunning!
