[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 11410340, member: 2844"]Looks like a mix of cow and buffalo horn and bone beads. Horn and bone bead necklaces often come from India and Nepal. They are cheap and cheerful and no endangered species are ever used. There are probably more buffaloes than yaks, and these beads are generally made in the low-lying areas where buffaloes are kept. All species of rhino are on the CITES list, so no parts can be sold legally in countries that signed the treaty. Which is just about every country on the planet.[/QUOTE]
