Rupiya Necklace
The Rupiya Necklace by Kaligarh is made with handmade silver coins that have a different pattern on both sides and comes with an adjustable 15-17" silver chain.
Coins have been used for jewellery in cultures all over the world, but in Nepal, this type of jewellery is associated with the flat, southern plains, or the hilly western region. Since the 19th century, the Indian Rupee would be the popular choice, sometimes money from Persia would also be used to make necklaces and rings.
