The Asian Civilisations Museum Freshwater Pearl Necklace WN00397 is a stunning piece that beautifully merges the rich history of antique jewellery with modern design elements. This exquisite necklace is not just a fashion accessory; it is a symbol of good luck and a testament to the artistry of Southeast Asian craftsmanship.
Inspired by the traditional dokoh jewellery of the 19th century from Kelantan, this necklace features a contemporary twist that makes it a unique addition to any jewellery collection. The dokoh is known for its intricate designs and cultural significance, often worn as a protective charm. The Asian Civilisations Museum has reimagined this classic piece, incorporating 7-8mm freshwater pearls that add elegance and sophistication.
This necklace is crafted with the utmost attention to detail, featuring high-quality materials. The pearls are graded 'A' for surface quality, ensuring a smooth and lustrous finish. The necklace also boasts an excellent lustre grading, making it a standout piece that catches the light beautifully. The use of sterling silver with gold plating not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also ensures durability, allowing you to cherish this piece for years to come.
The dokoh is a distinctive piece of jewellery originating from the regions of Pattani, Kelantan, and Terengganu. Traditionally made from 'suasa', an alloy of gold, silver, and copper, the dokoh features a central pendant surrounded by smaller pendants, each symbolizing protective charms for the wearer. This necklace not only serves as a beautiful adornment but also carries the weight of cultural heritage and significance.
The Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM) is Singapore’s national museum dedicated to Asian antiquities and decorative arts. It is the only museum in Asia with a pan-Asian focus, showcasing a diverse range of artefacts that illustrate the rich tapestry of Asian cultures. The ACM jewellery gallery highlights the evolution of Southeast Asian jewellery from the Neolithic period to the 20th century, providing inspiration for contemporary jewellery designers like Pearly Lustre.
When you wear the Asian Civilisations Museum Freshwater Pearl Necklace, you are not just wearing a piece of jewellery; you are embracing a story that spans centuries. This necklace is perfect for special occasions or as a thoughtful gift for someone who appreciates the beauty of cultural heritage.
