Vintage jewellery and tribal ornaments from India
The Koperberg vintage jewellery collection brings together distinctive finds from India: old necklaces, rings, amulet holders, ornaments and other pieces selected for their form, material and history.
Many pieces show visible signs of age and use. Patina, small irregularities and subtle colour variations are part of the character of vintage jewellery and make every item slightly different.
Banjara jewellery and ornaments
An important part of the collection is inspired by or connected to the jewellery traditions of the Banjara, a community in India known for richly decorated clothing and jewellery. Metal ornaments, coins, bells, chains and bold shapes are characteristic elements.
The collection includes Banjara necklaces, ornaments and pendants that can be worn as jewellery or appreciated as decorative objects.
Amulet holders and symbolic jewellery
Amulet holders also form part of the vintage collection. These small metal containers were traditionally used to keep a personal or protective object close to the wearer.
Their detailed craftsmanship makes them distinctive pieces even without their original contents. Some can be worn on a cord or chain, while others are especially interesting as collectible objects.
Old rings, necklaces and metal jewellery
Alongside bold tribal pieces, the collection includes adjustable rings, metal necklaces and matching necklace-and-bracelet sets. Materials and finishes vary from piece to piece, including silver-plated surfaces, brass and other metals.
This variety is part of what makes the vintage collection so distinctive. Some pieces are delicate and detailed, while others are more robust and expressive.
Vintage finds selected piece by piece
Koperberg selects vintage jewellery for its appearance, craftsmanship and distinctive details. Many pieces are unique or available only in very limited numbers. Once a particular vintage piece has been sold, the same item will often not be available again.
