Title:Turkoman Middle Eastern Bedouin Tribal White Metal Red Coral Carnelian Pendant

Description:Journey through ancient caravan trails with this captivating Turkoman Bedouin tribal pendant, a fiery talisman of red coral and carnelian beads cascading from ornate white metal filigree like embers from a Saharan campfire. Handcrafted by Middle Eastern artisans, this heirloom evokes the resilient spirit of nomadic wanderers—perfect for bohemian adventurers, ethnic jewelry collectors, or anyone seeking a bold statement piece that whispers of spice routes and starlit tents. Wear it long for boho drama or layered for everyday mystique!

Key Features:

Design & Style: Circular medallion with a central carnelian cabochon as the "evil eye" guardian, surrounded by seven vibrant coral beads in bezel settings and 1 at the top for a total of 8, framed by intricate floral and geometric repoussé motifs. Dangling fringe of 11 leaf-shaped charms sways with movement, adding rhythmic allure. Sturdy bale for chain or cord suspension—authentic tribal asymmetry with a touch of opulent detail.

Materials:

White metal alloy (likely high-grade pewter or silver-toned brass; tested for lead-free safety, with natural patina for aged authenticity).

Natural red branch coral beads (small, organic shapes for textured warmth—sustainably sourced).

Genuine carnelian cabochon (deep blood-orange, polished for fiery glow).

Condition: Excellent vintage condition with a soft, authentic tarnish that enhances its desert-worn charm—coral and carnelian intact without chips or fading. Minor surface dings on metal consistent with tribal use (circa 1940s-1960s, from the golden age of Bedouin silversmithing). Securely assembled, ready to wear.

Measurements:

Pendant diameter: Approximately 3 1/2" tall by 2 1/2" wide inches – impressively scaled for impact.

Provenance: Sourced from a nomadic artifact collection in the Middle East; unsigned, as per traditional tribal craftsmanship—accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

This pendant is a cultural compass—pair it with linen kaftans for festival vibes or leather cords for urban edge. A rare bridge between worlds!
