    Hello all

    A shop I help in had these pieces of jewellery donated, hoping someone can help ID them.

    They look like foil backed glass with low grade silver, and measure between 6-7cm width.

    Thank you

    They are very nice, Ratsy. They are Kutchi or Banjara. The Kutchi are a nomadic people from Afghanistan, one of the Pashtun tribes, the Banjara are North Indian Gypsies.
    You're right, it is foil backed glass. The silver would be very low grade, probably no higher than .500. They are eyecatchers, with protective properties, that is their main purpose.
