<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 293749, member: 2844&quot;]It always helps if you give us all the information you have, before posting. Otherwise it becomes too much of a time-consuming guessing game, and many others want to have their items seen as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>The niello is clearly of Western or Central Asian origin. It is not as finely detailed as Caucasian niello, but could be a simpler example. Those are not regions historically associated with cocaine.</p><p>Ottoman niello amulet case from Anatolia, Turkey:</p><p><img src="https://turkishfolkart.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/IMG_0480-600x600.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><a href="https://turkishfolkart.com/product/turkey-istanbul-bursa-ottoman-antique-niello-silver-talisman-necklace/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://turkishfolkart.com/product/turkey-istanbul-bursa-ottoman-antique-niello-silver-talisman-necklace/" rel="nofollow">https://turkishfolkart.com/product/turkey-istanbul-bursa-ottoman-antique-niello-silver-talisman-necklace/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The stone is not amber, because it is cold to the touch. Some Western Asian carnelian is yellowish, that could be it.</p><p>It looks like a needlecase, to be worn on a chatelaine, hence the ring. It is missing top and bottom decorated silver stoppers. Those often get lost during their long lifetime. Needlecases of similar shapes are found in Western and Central Asia.</p><p>If you want to snort cocaine with it, be my guest, but imo you&#039;d be snorting it through a needlecase.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
