    I think the link is called Byzantine in English. In Dutch it is called a King's link.
    This one is from Thailand, I don't know what it would be called there. The W-clasp is used mostly in South and Southeast Asia.
    Thai dancers sometimes wear two long necklaces of this type crossed across the body, each going from a shoulder to the opposite hip.
