Handcrafted Gold-plated Sterling Silver Bismillah Necklace

Delicate two-tone sterling silver necklace featuring the Quranic Blessed Beginning (Bismillah ir Rahman ir Raheem: In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful). A scalloped antiqued border is offset by gold filigree calligraphy. Finished with a pretty pendant clasp that features the word Allah (God).

 The Bismillah or Basmala is used extensively in everyday Muslim life, said as the opening of each and every action in order to receive blessing from God. In the Indian subcontinent, a Bismillah ceremony is held for a child's initiation into Islam.

Each piece is individually hand made by Turkish artisans, following centuries-old jewelry making traditions. No two pieces will be exactly alike and slight differences in engraving, marks and imperfections are the hallmark of the individually hand-made nature of this product.
