Chinese Ethnic Silver Necklaces

These large necklaces (many are over 18” in diameter and weighing well over a pound) are also called torques. They have been popular in China since the Tang Dynasty ( A.D. 618. – A.D. 907)… and remain popular today with many of Southwestern China’s ethnic minority  groups… Miao (Mong/Hmong, Dong, Zhuang, Li and others.)
