Hand knotted Baroque pearl necklace with handmade Hindu goddess diety silver amulet. The shape of Hindu amulets is significant and the amulet must be ceremoniously consecrated before wearing. Round amulets are considered mandalas which are symbols of the universe and are meant for protection from evil. Baroque pearls became fashionable in jewelry in the 1600s because of their irregular, elaborate shapes. Vermeer’s 17th c. “The Girl with the Pearl Earring” iconic painting showcases beautiful Baroque pearls.
