The Story
This necklace is made in Turkey, where stamped metal discs—often called para, the Turkish word for coin—have long been strung and layered into necklaces, headpieces, and belts. The round, coin-like form seen here, graduating from small to large along a chain, follows that same visual logic even though this piece is worked in pewter rather than silver or gold.
Each disc carries a stamped floral medallion at its center, ringed by bands of triangles and raised dots. These bordering motifs are common in Turkish metal stamping, where a die presses a repeating pattern into the metal in concentric rings, giving a small disc the layered, detailed look of something much larger.
The oxidized finish is the final step that ties the design together: a chemical patina settles into the recessed stamping while the raised surface is polished back to brightness, so the floral pattern reads clearly even at a glance. It's a finishing technique widely used in Turkish costume jewelry to give new metal the depth and contrast of something old.
A piece like this starts as flat pewter, stamped disc by disc with a metal die that presses the floral and geometric pattern into the surface in a single strike. Once the five discs are formed and trimmed, they're linked by hand with jump rings into the graduating Y-shape, then treated with an oxidizing solution that darkens the recessed pattern. A worker then hand-polishes the raised surface, disc by disc, so the stamped design stands out in contrast against the blackened background before the chain is attached.

Questions & Answers
Is this necklace hypoallergenic?
Yes. It's made from nickel-free, lead-free pewter, which makes it a safer choice for sensitive skin.
Will the oxidized finish wear off over time?
The dark patina is durable with normal wear, but like any oxidized finish it can soften over years of use; wiping it down after wearing and storing it away from moisture and perfume will help it last.
Where is this necklace made?
It's made in Turkey, using stamped and oxidized pewter metalwork.
Why do the discs look slightly different from each other?
Because it's handmade, each disc is stamped and oxidized individually, so you may notice small variations in shading or pattern depth from one disc to the next — that's part of its handcrafted character.
Is the chain adjustable?
The necklace measures 21" long with a 4" drop; an adjustable length isn't specified in the product details.
