[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4023630, member: 2844"]I agree, the style is typically Peruvian, and the stone is Peruvian chrysocolla, a very popular stone in Peru. It can have inclusions. I began to see this style jewellery in the 1980s at craft fairs etc. The metal on these is usually described as alpaca, so nickel silver, and the tube beads as wood. I have never examined them closely, but I always though the tube beads looked like some kind of reed. This type of jewellery was never made in Israel, so no Eilat stone. Just pretty Peruvian chrysocolla.:)[/QUOTE]
