    That’s all that kinda stands out to me. What do you think?

    It's got that vibe. It's more 1985 than 1875, but The design does resemble a chatelaine.

    This is from the 80’s? I knew it wasn’t antique but I thought it was older than the 80’s. Lol

    Looks more Indian than chatelaine in style to me.

    I would call it a bib necklace, and it would feel right at home in the 80s.
    It is almost like the choker part and the dangles don't belong together. The choker looks inspired by some archaeological jewellery.
    Some of the dangles have Rococco-ish designs, and then there are the dangles on either side that look like seal fobs.

    Stylistically confusing but interesting.;)

    Could we see the backs of the dangles please? Are they flat and the dangles hollow?

    Is the shortest chain about 15" or 16" long?
    No matter how long, I think it is from India.

    That clasp doesn't look 80s at all, more like well-worn 50s. Maybe someone married them?

    these are the bottoms of the stamp looking dangles. I think that’s what you were asking for. The necklace only measure 15”. O thought it was a fold over but it’s the tongue clasp shown below

    Well, it's a very nice clasp for a necklace from India. Hmmmm........
    I still think all from India and nicely put together.

    I still feel it’s a bit older than the 80’s

    The top part is certainly; I'd be thinking 50s on the whole thing, now that we can see the wear around the clasp. Without it, I was thinking 80s copy of a 50s piece, but that brass is all wrong for the 80s.

    Ok, kinda along the lines of what I was thinking. Could I call it victorian revival? Is the wrong? @Ownedbybear @evelyb30
