Gorgeous vintage diadem, known as a Tekaki, from the nomadic Turkman peoples of Central Asia.  Originally, this piece would have hung from the elaborate headpieces worn by young women in Turkmenistan region (today's Central Asia and Iran).  These days, these gorgeous pieces are usually used as pendants or incorporated into other jewelry. 

This pendant is vintage silver metal (likely a mix of silver and non-silver) and very nice carnelian stones.  It measures 13 inches long and 1.5 inches wide.  There is one larger flower motif at the top, and three smaller pendants below, all joined together with a series of smaller links.  It weighs 55.7 grams.   

The piece is in excellent condition, with beautiful carnelian stones.  Carnelian stones were believed to protect the wearer from illness and death and the stones on this piece appear original and in very good condition.   

Note that this piece has a loop at one end (very easy to incorporate into jewelry) and a shark hook at the other end that would have connected to the wearer's clothing.  So a slightly more creative approach to incorporating it into your own jewelry creations may be necessary, or simply use it as an adornment.       

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York has an excellent history of the Turkman peoples and the role of jewelry in the culture of these Central Asian nomads:

Although nominally Sunni Muslim, the Turkmen kept many of their pre-Islamic customs and beliefs, which were often embodied in the jewelry they made and wore. Turkmen silver jewelry carried deep symbolic meanings and often marked an individual’s passage from one stage of life to another. From a very early age, a woman started wearing jewelry whose shapes and materials were believed to ensure her ability to bear healthy children later in life. The amount of embellishments a girl wore increased as she approached marriageable age. Once she had had her first children, and her fertility had been established, the amount of jewelry she received and wore decreased. In addition, silver jewelry believed to ward off evil and illness was worn by men, women, and especially by children.

Jewelry was a significant financial investment, as it was handcrafted from precious materials. There were cases when, in times of dire need, a woman would part with her jewelry in order to help the survival of the tribe. Significant in size and weight, Turkmen jewelry objects were made of silver, decorated with semi-precious stones, and sometimes gilded for an added color effect and value.

The Met explains that "Pieces of carnelian, a bright red colored stone, are popular because they are believed to protect the wearers from illness and death."

⚠️PLEASE READ⚠️
Color: White
This mouse is great but, if you were planning on hooking it up to an iPad or tablet or some kind it will work but, if you’re trying to play a game or something it’s not the best like if you’re trying to play Roblox I doesn’t work because Roblox doesn’t support keyboard and mouse on iOS. BENEFITS this mouse is lightweight, it’s very easy to hook up to devices, it’s very comfortable and smooth but, it’s a little small for me but besides that it’s GREAT. The mouse also looks clean and professional if you’re ever trying to brag😂. It’s also very compatible with all the devices I’ve tried I hope this review was helpful.

Great bluetooth mouse, easy connectivity and long battery life
Color: Graphite
I really do like this mouse, the price is great, the bluetooth connection is a great newer technology that I love, so nice not to have to worry about a dongle that can get lost, or can occupy a USB port you need for something else! This connects quickly and easily, does NOT take hardly any time to wake up (like some wireless mouse!), and is reliable. It's also fantastic this does not require charging and apparently the battery lasts like a year? So great. Only down side, the reason for 4 stars is the click is pretty loud. My old mouse had a lot of problems that were solved by this one but the click was very quiet so the sound of this one can be annoying.

Stopped Working
Color: White
Awesome little mouse that works great with my MacBook. I will say that the battery only lasted 6 months, not a year, but that's not a deal breaker for me. This is still a 5-star product. Smooth scrolling, comfortable in my hand, no glitchy-ness or functional issues at all. Thanks Logitech.

Good Mouse for the Price
Color: Graphite
It is a really good mouse for being only 11 dollars, I had no problem whatsoever setting it up, it is pretty light weight and gets the job done, I didn't even need a mouse pad for it.
