Edwardian Kashmiri Ferozi Lavalier Necklace

A true collector’s piece, this rare Edwardian-era lavalier necklace showcases the unparalleled artistry of early 20th-century Kashmiri craftsmanship. Featuring hand-shaped stones sourced from the remote, mountainous region of Ladakh, each element is individually painted in the signature “Ferozi” blue: a rich, oceanic turquoise hue that defines Kashmiri turquoise.

Unlike natural turquoise, this distinctive color is achieved through a meticulous, centuries-old hand-painting technique known to only five remaining artisans in the Kashmir Valley. The result is a glowing, ethereal blue unlike anything produced elsewhere in the world.

Divine bronze chain links are finished with intricate enamel work, showing graceful age and patina consistent with over a century of wear.

Choker length of 15 inches around the neck, with a 2 1/2-inch drop pendant.
Spring ring clasp

A museum-worthy heirloom for the collector of rare antique adornment.
