Vintage Turkish Sterling Silver Gold Gilt and Enamel Petite Choker

This is a  gorgeous choker necklace made in the old Caucasian inspired style by skilled Turkish silversmiths. The links are made of sterling and then threaded onto leather which allows the choker its flexibility. The clasp is a hidden tongue in groove mechanism and works perfectly. The links are decorated with the tulip motif, a known motif for the Ottoman empire. Each medallion is marked "925" in a diamond cartouche.  This necklace is beautiful and unique and is bound to please the one you love (yourself included).  In excellent vintage condition with very little wear to the gold gilt and  polished by previous owner.

Length is 35  cm (just under 14 "). Width is 2 cm (3/4"). Weight is 167.7 g
