[QUOTE="tie.dye.cat, post: 323260, member: 152"]I am soooo out of my league on this one, I thought I'd come here to ask for any info anyone wants to throw my way. I deal in $15 or $20 jewelry, rarely do I get something over $100, let alone something so foreign to me. This is what was on the card that came with it: Antique Tekke-Turkoman Pendant from Samarkand, Russia. Pendant of pure silver bullion, chased with 24k gold leaf, set with Himalayan carnelian. Amber from the Aral Sea. "Haji" coins are temple tokens from Mecca. Circa 1800. The reverse of the card has a red wax seal. Underneath it says "Peterson Conway". I can't tell what the red ink stamp says except the last line ends in "ASIA". The other card just gives directions for the care of amber from the Amber Guild Ltd. I love, love, love this necklace because it's probably the most interesting thing I've ever gotten. However, I can never afford to keep what I find; I need to find the best way to market it. Beyond any interesting info anyone has to offer on the necklace, my main question is, does anyone think this would be worth sending to an auction house to sell. Maybe not so much because it's worth [I]that much[/I], but moreso because it will get a better targeted audience than it would on ebay. Also, I wouldn't have the slightest clue how to price this for ebay. Thanks for having the patience to read all that and anyone responding! Pics in next post.[/QUOTE]
