Featured Ethnic (?) vintage charm like necklace. Any idea of origin?

Was thinking that big nut with the silver colored metal top would be hint. There is a Danish coin on the there from the 1970s. Purchased from an estate where the former owners did a lot of traveling. Any ideas about this one? Thanks for taking a look.

 

This is completely out of my realm, but I stumbled on something similar (I could be, and probably am, WAY off here):



Fraisketten are strings of amuletic beads and other items, closely related structurally to rosaries. They are a distinctively Austro-Bavarian means of protection against ‘Frais’ – an ancient German term referring to all types of cramps, spasms, fits, convulsions and seizures, especially those associated with epilepsy, experienced during childhood. A Fraiskette chain combines items of devotionalia (such as crosses, pilgrimage medallions, reliquaries, breverl and bottles of holy oil), naturalia (such as various mineral beads, fossils, seeds and nuts, pieces of red coral, shells, teeth, mole’s feet, bird claws, polecat penis bones, stag beetle antlers and badger’s hair) and artificialia (such as coins and keys). They therefore represent uniquely personal amuletic safeguards and protections against childhood fevers, illustrative of local Catholic beliefs and perhaps recording family pilgrimages, syncretised with reverence for non-sacramental objects from country folk medicine traditions esteemed for their supposed prophylactic properties. Fraisketten were hung over the bedsteads of expectant mothers and young children, sometimes worn around the neck, and generally date from the 18th and 19th centuries.

It may be the equivalent of a charm bracelet, with items collected during their travels. The Danish coin and the little bone/ivory carved face next to it might relate to Greenland. There are also several items of Asian origin - the dzi bead at the bottom, the jade leaf, and the little metal buddhist amulet on the right looks southeast Asian. The big brown seed might be a chestnut of some variety.

 

Most dangles are of Asian origin, including a rudraksha bead which has spiritual importance, as have the Dzi bead and the bronze Buddha charm.The glass bead is an eye bead, probably protective.
The bone pendants could be of Shamanic origin.
The fact that the coin is Danish could be coincidental. It may represent money or riches in a more generic way.

 

Fascinating to learn about such a delightful bit of arcana! You folks are amazing...Thanks!

 

I was thinking that it looks like something I made. Or more than one something. I've made many a charm necklace out of bits and bobs which may or may not be related to each other. Often they were just found in the same random bag at a rummage sale. The Fraiskette makers got there first - shoulda known.
