This impressive rigid collar necklace (also known as adiya or aad) is worn high around the neck, usually by brides or married women at wedding ceremonies in Rajasthan. There are two comparable examples of arya necklaces in the Nasser D. Khalili Collection, made in Rajasthan and dated to circa 1900 (Carvalho, London, 2010, nos. 132, 133, pp. 236–239). For another comparable example which sold at auction, see Christie’s, London, 26 April 2018, lot 141.
