DETAILS
This women's necklace is bench-made in Midyat, the south-eastern Turkish silver town, by Midyat Nurtaş Gümüş. The design takes the Arabic letter vav, a calligraphic symbol of devotion. It is telkâri — filigree in which fine silver wire is coiled and soldered into openwork. Measurements, finish and availability are listed on the workshop's own website, which is where orders are taken.
