Dholki & Jadau Bead Knotted Long Necklace
The gold beads used in this necklace are called Dholki Beads and are so named as they resemble the shape of a traditional drum of the same name. The beads are filled with wax to make them lightweight and then covered in silver or gold. Dholki beads are traditionally worn in Maharashtra and North Karnataka and are prized heirlooms. In this design I have interspersed the dholki gold beads with colourful jadau work beads, set with rubies, emeralds and gemstones and a few with enamel embellishment also.
Ellie wears this necklace with some of our Long Gold Bead Necklaces.
Materials: the beads in this necklace are made of gold plated sterling silver and the ornate beads are set with emeralds, rubies, pearl & turquoise gemstones. The beads are knotted together with gold-coloured silk thread.
Details: the necklace is 115 cm long and has no clasp. It is long enough to be wrapped twice around.
