Rare Old Yemenite Vintage Yemeni Choker Necklace Yemen Box Silver Bedouin

  

Rare Old Yemenite Vintage Yemeni Choker Necklace Yemen Box Silver? Yemenite silversmithing refers to the work of Jewish silversmiths from Yemen.

They were highly acclaimed craftsmen who dominated craft production in precious metals in the southern Arabian peninsula from the 18th through the mid-20th century, a period and region during which Muslims did not engage in this work. These Yemenite silversmiths were noted for their use of fine granulation and filigree, producing such ornaments as women's bracelets, necklaces, finials, etc. Between June 1949 and September 1950, almost the entire Jewish community in Yemen, including nearly every silversmith in the country, immigrated to Israel in an airborne mass migration known as Operation Magic Carpet. Muslims appear to have entered silversmithing in the Yemen in the mid-1900s as the Jews departed for Israel.

But when the value of the silver declined in med to late 1900s, Yemeni diverted more toward gold jewelry than the traditional Yemenite jewelry, which brought the declined of the craftsman of this kind of jewelry. Currently almost all the pieces available are old pieces, kept by jewelry collectors. The necklace comes with an adjustable chain, but it can also be worn as a choker.
