<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSW, post: 4390284, member: 8708&quot;]I don’t know what to make of this necklace! Help needed please.</p><p>Feels like jet. Lighter and warmer than glass with that slightly plasticky feel to it. Chinks like glass. Tests as glass (although Mary says everything that she is clueless about is glass). Colourless gems are glass. </p><p>My initial thought was c1950 for no good reason.</p><p>The hook is stamped Germany so that’s pre 1949 or post 1990 if that’s correct?otherwise it would say West Germany? Pretty sure it’s not post 1990 so pre 1949? No idea about the spring ring but it’s not actually attached, just clipped on.</p><p>The hook has been reattached at some point so could be original or a later addition to mend it and this isn’t German at all? </p><p>The chained beads are graduated but in the wrong direction to usual. That element is tightly attached to the rest of the beads but the whole lot could be restrung. Is the chained part originally or not to the rest? The beads look and feel the same.</p><p>It’s quite short and would be very short hooked on the tightest chain link.</p><p>The style looks similar to some Victorian ones but I can’t find any with the inset gems.</p><p>Any ideas welcome as I have no idea! Congratulations if you have made sense of my confused ramblings.</p><p>Thankyou <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]369615[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]369616[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]369618[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]369619[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]369620[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]369622[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]369623[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]369624[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]369625[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]369626[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
