[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 2341289, member: 2844"]Yes, it is Ottoman Greek. Are you sure that is a belt? My metric conversion may be off, but it sounds like a choker. Looks like one too.;) Yes it is from Yemen.:) It would have had woven cords, probably black, similar to the ones you see on Indian chokers. Those tend to tear after decades of sweaty necks, the shoelaces come pretty close. You can replace the shoelaces with thick cotton cord. Here is one somewhat like yours, with replacement bands: [IMG]https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/jF4AAOSwzNtc3W6d/s-l1600.jpg[/IMG] [URL]https://www.ebay.com/itm/Yemenite-Necklace-Tribal-Choker-Vintage-Yemen-silver-Tribal-Necklace-Y2-/123770058975[/URL][/QUOTE]
