    I saw this pendant-t-type thing and bells in the background of a house clearance lot,so I risked a pound or two as I though I'd seen something similar on here. But we all know I don't get things right that often.
    Don't think either of these are particularly old, I just wanted to hopefully learn.

    I don't know anything about these though. The bells do look like silver close up,and the thing they are attached to does also.
    (I polished one gently and it became more silvery, don't know if you can see that)

    The bells are attached to a bit which is about an inch and a half (4 cms).
    Think it's missing something from the front of the disc?

    I THINK THIS IS LOVELY!
    It has greening but I think this feels like a silver as well but I am useless
    The back is pressed,the beads are two inches ( 5 cms)( I LOVE THESE BEADS! ARE they called beads?) and the drop bit is just under three inches ( 8 cms)

    Thank you, didn't think of that,could be! Smells and sounds silvery but could be either xx

    EDIT...I have a Tibetan *silver* bracelet and it's not quite the same, but again I am clueless

    Indian for the bells, I'd say, they're nautch dancer ones. Second could also be Indian or perhaps Nepal. @Any Jewelry

    Great find, Bou.
    The first one is India or Pakistan. I think there was meant to be a coin in the centre, and a little glass cabochon on the bail.
    You're right, Tibetan jewellery is very different. Some sellers will call anything Asian Tibetan.:rolleyes:
    I love it!:happy: You've won the jackpot with that one. It is from Northwest India. Either Rajasthan, Punjab, or Gujarat.
    Absolutely right.:)
    The Mother Goddess to protect you.

    :shame::kiss:

    This one is from the same region as yours. It was just sold the other day.
    I don't know how much for, but the starting price was 95 euro, so I guess the final bid was somewhere in the 125-150 euro range. That is ca 110-132 pounds.
    I have seen them for even more.:happy:

    Thank you so much, AJ. Thanks to your educatin' I have one of my own.I AM THRILLED! <3 <3 <3
    I am on the lookout for more ( is that greedy?) ( I am Quite Greedy at times)

    Edited to say I love the similarities,the beads and the cord stuff and the way the cord is tied and the stringy stuff around it

    It is collecting.:happy: (which is being greedy :hilarious:) I really love yours too.
    I would have bid on the one I posted, if the starting price were not as high. Never mind, I would have been outbid anyway.
    I prefer yours though, I love the shape of the pendant.
