Chut Thai Collar Necklace, Gold Tone

This is one collar for a chut thai (ชุดไทย), the formal Thai dress. It is the neck ornament only, not a dress, belt, brooch or armband set. The collar opens at the back on a short link, and 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, and below that the front narrows to a pointed drop. Naree picked it up in Thailand.

The listed material is resin and plastic with a gold-tone plate, the kind of light costume jewelry worn by dancers and brides in traditional dress, so it is comfortable for long ceremonies and performances. No width or inside measurement is printed, so please judge the fit from the photo.

Care: lay it flat when storing so the points do not bend, and keep perfume and water off the plate.
