[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 376515, member: 2844"]I agree, likely goldfilled, which means a fairly thick layer of gold on base metal. It looks Indian or Pakistani, as you thought. Probably for a wedding (visitor, not bride). If the pendant and earrings were solid gold, the spacers and clasp would be as well, Indian/Pakistani goldsmiths take pride in that kind of thing. In that case I would also expect the pendant to be entirely handmade, with real applied filigree and granulation. That doesn't seem to be the case here, although it is difficult to see on pictures made with a flashlight.[/QUOTE]
