I think a competent goldsmith/jeweler could offer good options for your chain...with moderate cost for their labor, but $$$ for the gold fittings...
Sweet...clean an' simple. I especially like the 6-part inlays of the Chinese Turquoise, nicely done...Thanks!
Oh, my! What a collection! Thanks, AJ...an' you, too, Bosko! Sweet little drooling interlude in my morning!
The back of the 'stone' in pic 6 looks like a ceramic...I see the glue, so it doesn't seem like a filler or shim. I think the setting might well...

Excellent, Books...Thank you!!

Thank you, Kronos! Sorry for my delay in responding...I was briefly delayed by a side issue.
Sigh... It's a paraphrase of 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.' I can explain it to you...but I can't understand it for you.
Relevance, Komo, is entirely in the eye of the requestor.

Very Good, an' Thanks!
No Blame, AJ...we're all in the same boat, now or later!
I'm lovin' that! All things chopstick are fascinating for me. What a beautifully simple case...Thanks!
