Featured Striking necklace but what is it made of?

I've seen clasps like that on Pre-Columbian jewelry. Could the necklace be Tairona or a reproduction?

 

Wonderful, congratulations Wenna.
Thanks for letting us know, you always wonder what something turns out to be.

 

That's exciting, Wenna, and great that it's something nice!!!!!!

 

What an interesting idea! I googled 'tairona pre columbian necklace' and can see similarities. Thanks Julie, I'll keep on digging...!

 

I hope it is!!!

 

You've got a point there with the Tairona style of the beads.
Pre-Columbian necklaces are often restored because many are still very wearable. The restorer is usually a designer who uses new or vintage clasps that are easy to use, but not in keeping with the origin of the piece.

 

Congratulations!
