Vintage India Mosaic Turquoise Bracelet Earring Set Tibetan Style Folk Jewelry

Overview
This striking vintage 3-piece artisan jewelry set features two link bracelets and a matching pair of scalloped clip-on earrings crafted in India. Inspired by traditional Himalayan and Tibetan mosaic stonework, each circular flower medallion is constructed from polished metal wire dividers filled with rich turquoise stone inlay set into a dark matrix. The two bracelets—one measuring 7.5 inches with larger medallion links and the second measuring 7.0 inches with smaller links—are joined with hand-bound blue cording and secured by traditional wire toggle clasps. The matching clip-on earrings are stamped "INDIA" on the original clip mechanisms. A vibrant, ready-to-wear ensemble for bohemian styling, vintage jewelry collections, or ethnographic textile display. Purchase includes complimentary, fully insured standard domestic shipping.
Deep Cultural & Historical Background
The art of mosaic stone inlay (often termed Karr or Pachikari in South Asian decorative craft traditions) has a centuries-long history across India and Nepal. Artisans create geometric and floral radial motifs by setting crushed turquoise mineral fragments into a lac or resin bed bounded by raised metal wire cloisonné compartments. The radiating petal and sunburst designs reflect sacred geometry long associated with protection, abundance, and spiritual balance in regional folk ornament.
During the mid-to-late 20th century, Indian master metalsmiths produced these distinctive, hand-corded turquoise composite pieces for international trade and artisan bazaars, combining traditional tribal aesthetics with accessible wearable forms.
