    I am thinking this is European or…. Looks line a lower case n and C over 7 I have not tested but I would think the 935 is for silver

    Don’t recognize the mark, but I think the necklace is from Israel.. and the stone looks like Eilat stone.. :)

    I think the design may be Yemenite.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    In doing a search, I see .935 referring to something called Argentium silver. Also see it referring to jewelry said to be gold. Yours might be silver coated in a thin layer of a gold-colored metal. I didn't find the C7 mark anywhere, but a more thorough search might turn it up.

    I think the stone is Eilat too and I would have guessed Yemeni but Yemeni technique was definitely brought to Israel. AJ will know LOL.

    You're on the right track.:)
    The quatrefoil links are Ottoman style. While you can find those links in Yemen, which was occupied by the Ottoman Turks for only a very short period, they are much more common in Turkey and neighbouring countries. Quatrefoil links are also found in countries and regions which had a long Ottoman occupation, like Syria and Kurdistan.

    Since the stones are Eilat stones, Israel is a likely origin. In which case I would call this necklace Israeli Mizrahi style.
    Mizrahi is the general term for the many 'Oriental' Jewish communities ranging from Morocco on the Atlantic Coast to Central Asia.
    With the quatrefoil links the thought of Ottoman-inspired Palestinian is a logical one. However, there is little Ottoman influence in Palestinian jewellery making (more old style Yemeni), and the use of Eilat stones together with the Modernist take shown in this necklace indicate an Israeli Jewish origin imo.:)
