Here was a thread on a possible Jakob Bengel piece: https://www.antiquers.com/threads/is-this-a-jakob-bengel-necklace.70275/
Wow. Gorgeous! Sure reminds me of a Jakob Bengel design, or at least in that style. The plastic could be Galalith.
Okay, not lightweight is good! The set I had was positively plastic cabochons, and yes a bit a aluminum-like in weight. I'm with Fig, it's a...
Leave that home if you are going through airport security.
It's a striking design. If in perfect condition (a chip or crack on something like this is basically a value breaker), you could check...

Got to say I would have picked that guy, too! What personality. @Lark Maybe start a thread in pottery and see if anyone has ideas!
I do like the top with the flowers, but guessing more modern as well. Nice chunk of gold though. However, I see what Holly is talking about....
I had to google it, too!
Wasn't sure what to call it --just made up "rope chain". Now seeing some sellers calling this a braided chain, will check out foxtail chain too....
