    Please help me with origin, age and stones if you can. So much happening. Clasp to clasp openned 24” and 18” top to bottom. I just aquired two necklaces. I will add a new thread for the other as it is not similar

    As alway your knowledge is invaluable to me and greatly appreciated.

    The word is clasp, not claps. ;)

    Looks like a Himalayan/Tibet type but probably relatively modern, stones could be agates, turquoise or dyed howlite, coral etc

    Looks like there are 2 halves of possible fake Chinese dzi beads.

    If you’re talking about the long brown stones that are capped, they do test to be stone. Can you share what you observe to think possibly fake? Trying to learn and understand. :)

    The beads you have are agate,but you can see the white lines have worn off in areas.

    UPDATE: WOW, I was referred to a FB group BEADMAN, and one of the replies came from the designer himself in Kathmandu, Nepal. I would have never thought possible. Made in the 80's. :)
