The Story
Siro bo maleya, the pepper-flower garland, is a classic of Kandyan court jewellery: hundreds of tiny hand-rolled gold beads strung in graduated strands. This necklace is made in 22-carat gold and takes a goldsmith about six weeks. It is presented in a fitted case with a certificate of authenticity and valuation.
