Chut Thai Collar Necklace, Gold Tone

One collar for a chut Thai (ชุดไทย), the formal Thai dress. It is not a dress, belt, brooch, or armband set. The piece in the photo is the neck ornament alone.

The collar opens at the back on a short link. A ring of pointed, leaf-shaped tips runs around the outside. At the center front sits a round red stone, with smaller red, green, and clear stones scattered over the gold-tone surface. Below that, the front narrows to a pointed drop.

Naree picked it up in Thailand. The material on the listing is resin and plastic with a gold-tone plate, the kind of light costume jewelry dancers wear, so the neck is not solid metal. Size is not given. No width or inside measurement is printed, so judge the fit from the photo.

Lay it flat when storing so the points don't bend. Keep perfume and water off the plate.
