A marvelous and authentic piece of ethnic Ethiopian jewelry, this extra-length necklace embodies both adornment and tradition.

Handcrafted with sterling silver beads in a variety of traditional forms – from stacked disc beads to elongated tubular spacers and faceted accents – it carries the unmistakable hallmarks of Ethiopian silversmith artistry.

Interspersed throughout the strand are small black glass spacers, lending contrast and rhythm to the silverwork, while the necklace is further elevated by a series of square sterling silver pendants. These pendants, adorned with embossed and granulated decoration, echo the amuletic forms worn across Ethiopia, where jewelry has long served not only as ornament but also as a talisman of protection and cultural identity.

At an impressive extra length, this necklace can be worn as a single dramatic strand or doubled for a layered choker-and-matinee effect (as traditionally styled). The piece is finished with its original shepherd’s hook clasp, securing both authenticity and ease of wear.

Such necklaces are rarely encountered outside Ethiopia, and their enduring craftsmanship ensures they remain highly collectible.
