<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 3032734, member: 2844&quot;]Most ethnic jewellery was part of a woman&#039;s dowry, that is probably why he said it, it is generally a pretty safe bet.</p><p>This is not a typical wedding necklace though. Kurdish wedding necklaces are composed of multiple chains, often with rows of coins suspended from each chain. The more the better. Wedding necklaces are often gold. Families who weren&#039;t rich could rent them for the ceremonies.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jewellery that has a strong talismanic purpose, like yours, could have been given, bought, and worn at any age. You need to be protected, no matter your age.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>So the bottom line is, we don&#039;t know if it was ever part of a dowry.</p><p><br /></p><p>My guess is 1950s-60s, but some parts could have been repurposed from older jewellery.</p><p>As I said, it is a rare piece, and silver. I am glad you appreciate it. It is something special, to be treasured.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
