    Been going through some stuff of my mom’s-mostly ethnic jewelry and found this. Any idea of origin? My guess is African or Afghani but I really don’t know and not sure of material. IMG_1209.jpeg IMG_1214.jpeg TIA

    I believe they are glass beads, made to imitate coral. I remember seeing these in the 80s.

    I'd say Indian and glass. A very nice necklace inspired by the traditonal style of Naga and other Indian tribal necklaces.
    No abundance of silver, no natural stone or shell, so not Tibetan.;)

    Thanks All. Indian it is…Not sure if I’ll ever wear it but I’ll put it on a table as an object.

    It's pretty, but I'll bet it's heavy.
