<p>[QUOTE="ritzyvintage, post: 3679930, member: 18191"]I'd say it's Nepalese. The central element of your example is similar to those used upon certain Nepalese snuff-bottles. Trust me when I say, many Nepali jewellery makers use all manner of materials to replicate semi-precious stones. Including red pieces of plastic which is set into a resin-liked paste/glue. I have also seen numerous items such as strings of beads, clasps, earrings and incomplete bracelets being exchanged between the Nepali & Tibetan ladies who then produce a finished piece from whatever is at hand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
