    my guess is India or Greece on red one, and maybe India on green one, cant figure out why green pendant has a cloth and gold thread chain, which has a lobster clasp. Home made maybe, Green really is a nice piece, thank you for any input. green3.jpg rednecklace.jpg

    Hi,
    I am with you. The green one really stirs up the word covet.

    The green one is a modern copy of Indian wedding jewellery, and rather nice. The other may be a little older, Indian or at a pinch Tibetan.

    I believe the red one to be small garnets...

    Could be - little garnet beads aren't expensive.

    Sorry, a bit late, but I only just saw it.
    The green one is a modern take on traditional Kundan jewellery from India and Pakistan.
    The red one has a Coptic cross pendant. Ethiopian Coptic crosses often have that combination of a Havarian or Solomonic cross, the bottom part, hinged to an Andrew cross, the top part.
