    The first piece looks like 2 claws and a piece of coral set in sterling. Is the silver design from India? In looking on ebay, all the claws are listed as faux even ones that look very similar to mine Frt 1.jpg Frt 2.jpg Bck 1.jpg Frt 1.jpg Bck 2.jpg Mrk 2.jpg so I'm guessing real claws are a no no. I have had this 40+ years.
    The second piece has a tiny mark on the bale. I'm trying to figure out what kind of stone. It is blackish with brown and grey striations. I think it is sterling (needs polishing.)
    Thanks for your help. Patd

    If the stone has a play of color the photo does not capture, I'm thinking it could be labradorite, but we really need to see it better.

    They are listed as faux because most countries won't accept the real deal.
    Yes it looks Indian. Very nice, but sadly from the wrong period when it comes to Cites.
