<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Houseful, post: 828970, member: 1067&quot;]I bought this from a U.K. Charity shop purely because I could see the huge amount of work involved in making it. I am pretty ignorant about this sort of item as I haven’t seen much or handled any at all. Is it NA? Is it old, a tourist item? I found some similar online hence the Heishi thread title but I don’t know.</p><p>The coin is the only American one I have to show rough idea of size. The necklace is 33inches long, 5 strands and the small(shell)? beads are so tiny, only about a millimetre wide. I can see coral, turquoise, spiny oyster, amethyst, mop, quartz, 3 blue ceramic beads, there are some stones I don’t know and there are 5 animals, maybe foxes, one per strand. The animals look hand carved to me. The cone fastenings have no silver marks just a pattern.</p><p>Thanks for any info.</p><p>~</p><p>[ATTACH=full]193766[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]193767[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]193768[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]193769[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]193770[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]193771[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]193772[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
