DESCRIPTION

Exquisite traditional tribal necklace from Northern India. Crafted in sterling silver and studded with a Black Onyx cabochon, this stunning, well preserved, vintage piece has been strung in the traditional style on a cotton 'Dori' necklace. The intricately woven thread is secured with a knot that can be moved up and down the rope to achieve the desired length.

Ta'Wiz refers to the amulet box, worn by many cultures for protection. Inside you could find a variety of items, spices, herbs, incense, verses from a sacred text or even a lock of hair from a guru! 

Black Onyx-Protection-Destiny-Strength

Dark, mirror-like Black Onyx has long been a symbol of strength. Ancient Romans carved images of Mars, the God of War, into the “Warrior Stone” and carried it into battle to give courage and protection. The structure of Onyx has made it ideal to carve and there’s a long history of its use in cameos and intaglios.

CARE

Our Jewellery is more than just an accessory, we want you to keep enjoying your Kalapriya pieces for years to come. To maintain your jewellery please keep in mind that Sterling Silver is a soft metal which will naturally oxidise and mellow over time. We recommend keeping your jewellery wrapped in our acid free tissue paper in a dry, cool environment. Always apply perfume and lotions well before putting on your jewellery and removing it before swimming and showering.

A silver cloth is preferred for cleaning as some of the chemical dips can damage the stones and strip the silver of its beautiful lustre.

How to choose the right chain?

There are three main things to consider when matching chains to pendants, Length, strength, and style.

Firstly, the most important thing to consider is the weight of the pendant you want it for. Not only would a large pendant on a fine chain look out of place but the chain would probably wear out and break before too long. The other way around, a heavy weight chain might overwhelm a small, delicate pendant.

Next what length do you want to wear the pendant? Generally speaking, smaller pendants are usually worn higher and larger pieces lower, but this is a matter of taste and style, sometimes the opposite can be true! As a very rough guide, especially if you’re buying as a gift, a smaller design would work best up to a 20” length and larger pendants over 24”

Lastly, try and match the style, a heavily oxidised and detailed pendant usually looks best with a Rope or a Belcher chain, whereas a more sleek, modern design would normally be worn on a simple, polished snake chain, but again, this is very much up to personal taste.

We carry a variety of chains ranging from 14” inches (35cm) long to 36” inches (90cm)

And please, if you are unsure of what would look best, please don’t hesitate to contact us and ask for some advice!
