[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9730739, member: 2844"]It looks like a Middle Eastern choker using imported Czechoslovakian dangles. The choker and the decorative elements on it are classic Middle Eastern, although mesh chokers were also worn in parts of India. Countries like Syria imported a lot of glass beads etc from Czechoslovakia. The decorative elements on the mesh base are often referred to as "flower and whale" by ethnic jewellery collectors. It is thought to have originated in Yemen.[/QUOTE]
