[QUOTE="MaJa, post: 1974458, member: 14649"]There are no "Chinese" knots, they are just (simple) knots. The knots are set between beads/pearls to prevent them from rubbing against each other. To the best of my knowledge, this is how it is done all over the world. Just because there knots does not mean a necklace is Chinese. The thread used to tread beads/pearls very often contain silk, but again that is not typical Chinese. Aventurin is a fairly common variety of quarz. It can be found all over the world, mainly Russia and India. So to sum up, there is no indication that the necklace comes from China.[/QUOTE]
