Rooted in the rich jewellery traditions of Odisha, this striking vintage necklace brings together old British coins, geometric silver beads and three distinctive, intricately worked motifs.
Across India's tribal communities, coins have long been incorporated into jewellery, transforming currency into adornment that could also hold tangible value. Among communities whose lives were shaped by travel, trade and changing landscapes, wearable ornaments offered a way to keep treasured possessions close.
Believed to originate from the Kondh community of Odisha, this necklace reflects the enduring relationship between jewellery, identity and material heritage. Strung on an adjustable black cotton thread with a beautiful silver bead at the end, it is a rare expression of India's vintage tribal silver tradition.
