Is this tribal looking necklace anything exciting?

The clasp is base metal, the beads seem to be stone, the yellowy ones definitely are. I have been to the local antiques and collectables fair today and it said buy me, so I did as it was a bargain and is rather nice

 

The metal looks like Indian "white brass", aka nickel alloy. The greenish beads look like glass. Age is...not much. It's pretty and if the price was right, it was a good buy.

 

Thank you evelyb, I never pay much for anything so am rarely disappointed

 

It is pretty -- looks well balanced in its construction.

 

A lot of these were coming out of Afghanistan a couple of years ago. All very pretty, and using different Afghan stones. The metal parts could be Indian import, they look towards India a lot.
Afghanistan is a treasure trove of beautiful stones, the most famous being top quality lapis lazuli.
Not sure anything is coming out of there since Taliban rule.

 

If I remember correctly, they used Roman glass beads in those Afghan necklaces as well, that is what the translucent beads probably are.

 

Thank you, I hadn't thought of Afghanistan. Hadn't thought of anywhere really, just "oh look, pretty" and then it was mine. It's always interesting to learn a bit about the things I've bought, not only for making more accurate listings but because I just like to know
