In this case, it might only have been the maker of the clasp rather than the whole necklace. Not much good for IDing whodunnit.
I'm with Bluumz too. 1990s or even later. It's pretty but not old.
I've found those daggers in silver, or at least nickel, but never gold. Score!
Hmmm - could we have a paint by number here? That would fit with the thin paint and how "rigid" the image is.
Yep. Chinese. Fortunately it's bone so if all else fails it can be resold to pay for a Japanese one. :-)
If buying for yourself and you want to hang it, it's hard to lose. Wood blocks have been reproduced early and often, and even the real ones are...

if it's real shell, probably just as well. It's not illegal to own, just illegal to sell.
I almost bought a piece of black pottery today, but it was Mexican and the seller wanted high dollars. I left it in the box I found it in.
I wasn't sure when the marks changed over. The tazza still got around a bit though. I even saw a bit of Yugoslav glass here in the early 90s for...
Separate names with a comma.
