<p>[QUOTE="alynnfin, post: 4405920, member: 18516"]I have had this long necklace for quite some time & buy used all the time so at this point, I do not remember where it came from. I have just now decided it might be older. At least the leather looks older and I can't remember ever seeing a chain like that. I do not wear it much because I can break anything and it is heavy because of the metal plus, since I do not know the strength of the material the woven chain is made because I do not know what it is, I'm afraid it may break. The center metal is iron but the other 2 are probably brass or bronze? and copper, not attracted to a magnet and the flat silver washer looking object is sterling I believe. I'm thinking tribal but not sure of country if so. Any information would be appreciated as to age, origin, if ivory or bone, chain material? I'm I apologize for all the photos but I figured you might need them.[ATTACH=full]373284[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]373285[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]373287[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]373288[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]373290[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]373291[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
