[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 388739, member: 2844"]Can anyone tell me where the beads on this necklace were made? It is an Indo-Persian style prayer box/amulet box necklace from Pakistan or NW India. The brass prayer box is 19th century. The beads are probably 20th century? I don't know the exact age or origin of the beads, but they are handmade. Bohemia/Czechoslovakia? India? I don't think Venice, but what do I know. The long beads are ca 12mm long, the lengths vary a little. Thank you for looking. [ATTACH=full]134747[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]134748[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]134749[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]134750[/ATTACH] Just in case you were wondering, this is how the box opens.:) It has the same decoration on the back.
