Balinese Sterling Silver and Amethyst Briolette Tassel Pendant Necklace

This piece is a handcrafted Balinese artisan necklace, constructed from high-quality sterling silver. The necklace features a distinctive chunky rollo chain composed of uniform, circular links that display a bright, high-polish finish. Suspended from the center is a cluster-style pendant designed with a floral or botanical influence, characteristic of Indonesian silverwork. The pendant features three faceted amethyst briolette drops in a soft violet-lavender hue, which provide subtle color and light refraction. These gemstones are clustered above a silver tassel element that terminates in rounded, bulbous 'bead' forms, creating a tactile and weighted focal point. The construction utilizes traditional soldering techniques and integrated jump rings. The condition appears excellent with no visible signs of metal fatigue or stone chipping, although a light surface oxidation or patina is emerging in the recessed areas of the silver, which is typical for sterling jewelry and adds to the depth of the design. The style is indicative of late 20th-century to contemporary Balinese studio craft, emphasizing substantial metal presence and natural gemstone accents.
