[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 2642874, member: 2844"]Nice necklace, wanderer, and welcome. I can't see all of the pics*, but what I see looks Indian. The plaited metal chain with cones on either side are seen a lot in India. The stones could be amethyst, could be fluorite (English Blue John is also fluorite :)), could be another purplish stone found in India. They are nothing like the Brazilian stone in the link imo. The hook clasp is traditional in many parts of the world. It was also used in Byzantium, but that covers only a smidgen of hook clasp use. Given the size of India compared to Byzantium, India is a much better bet.;) * My computer is extremely slow at the moment, and for some reason I can't access some photos (on Antiquers only).:( It also takes forever to 'like' something, but believe me, I would love to 'like' a lot of your posts in the threads I have seen so far.:) I would also love to ID some items that haven't been ID-ed yet, but with the current state of my computer that is virtually impossible. The same with seeing tags, so please forgive me if I miss some.[/QUOTE]
