    Hello everyone! The hooks on this necklace and bracelet pair are marked 925 - the chains themselves aren't marked but I tested and they are sterling.

    Necklace length - 30". Bracelet length - 7".

    Couple of questions - I've been googling necklace chain types and the closest I can come up with is Byzantine - but I don't think that's really a match for this. Anyone recognize this type of chain? Also - where do you think this is likely from? Thailand perhaps?

    Thanks for taking a look :)

    Also - my dog decided to visit while I was taking pics - sorry for the stray doggie hairs in these pics :D.

    Those W and S clasps are native to South and Southeast Asia. These particular end tubes are more mainland Asia, I would guess India.
    The W has been pulled out of shape a bit, it should be like these:

    Yes, just like Byzantine chains are not made in Byzantium, and the similar king's link chain is not worn exclusively by kings.
