Vintage Tribal Silver Bib Yemenite Style Handcrafted Ethnic Necklace 20.74g

Stunning vintage tribal silver bib necklace, featuring intricate hand-linked construction and traditional Middle Eastern design elements. This dramatic statement piece showcases rows of articulated quatrefoil links, raised square pyramid details, and cascading teardrop fringe that moves beautifully when worn. The necklace has been acid tested and confirmed as silver. While unmarked (common for older ethnic and tribal jewelry), the weight, craftsmanship, and patina are fully consistent with mid-20th-century Yemeni / North African / Afghan-style silver work, where hallmarks were often not used. This type of necklace was traditionally worn for ceremonial or special occasions and is prized today by collectors of ethnic, tribal, and vintage silver jewelry. ⸻ Details • Material: silver (acid tested) • Style: Tribal / Ethnic / Middle Eastern • Possible Origin: Yemeni, North African, or Afghan • Era: Mid-20th century (approx. 1940s–1970s) • Construction: Hand-assembled, stamped and soldered links • Design: Bib / fringe necklace with articulated movement • Weight: Approx. 20.74 grams • Condition: Very good vintage condition with natural patina and age-appropriate wear (see photos)
