Indian Gold and White Sapphire Necklace

This fine and wearable necklace comprises a series of seven gold-encased boxes modelled on amulet boxes and set in kundan settings with three rows of white sapphires and with each end set with a four-leaf flower motif set with alternating red and green stones. All stones are foil-backed.

The boxes are threaded onto a black silk and gold-wrapped thread cord.

The necklace most probably is from Lucknow or Benares in Uttar Pradesh.

The necklace is in a fine and wearable condition.
