    Hi all . Found this while cleaning out drawers,I must have bought it in my jewelry phase . Its marked 925 in a couple of places,and Im guessing 1980s ? Id love to know what the stones are. Id swear the beads are also of some sort of stone,but Im sure Im wrong. The pendant is 4 inches long . Any input is always appreciated.

    Green is peridot or olivine. Other looks like smoky quartz.

    The pendant looks Indonesian. The necklace could be Indian. It looks like a nice marriage.

    Edited to add the necklace

    Edited post #4 to add the necklace, which is a separate piece.:)

    I suppose that is the Indonesian pendant, so taking it off the necklace won't help.:(

    Just thinking, I usually put heavy pendants on a torque necklace, you know, one of those rings that are open at the back. That way the weight is distributed and it doesn't press on my arthritic neck.
    Another thing I do is wear another pendant on the same chain at the back, as a counterweight. Again, no pressure on the neck.
