    Hi folks

    found this in our local chas tother day, to me something looks odd about the stone on it, thinking it might be some type of faux turquoise ?
    didn't cost anything but worth buying just for the fact its silver and purrty,

    quite tarnished so imagine its not made yesterday

    any thoughts or info appreciated

    Doesn't look like amazonite.

    I think it wants to be larimar; it doesn't quite make it, but it's close. The design is 1970s craft fair.

    Vintage I think, but the stones may be glass or ceramics.

    I've sold my share of those......but after the 1st few.......I could never keep the chains clean..... so dropped them for the pendants alone , on a cardboard backing....

    i havent tried cleaning it yet mate, as i was hoping it had a bit of age and that that would show it but will try and give it a clean to see if it comes up, the ones that don't clean perhaps are not sterling

    i see what you mean mate, theres no way thats all coming off without braking it

    coming off and leaving marks with a sunshine cloth but would snap under the effort needed, unless its soaked off

    I don't trust their date, but notice how the silver is dark like yours..
