[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9877205, member: 2844"]Oh dear, Bob, not much of a welcome, is it. Unfortunately I agree with the others, it isn't a well made piece, it is even difficult to recognize the squash blossoms as such, and the feathers lack detail. I'm with [USER=8267]@2manybooks[/USER] about the round beads, and with [USER=13814]@stracci[/USER] about the hook clasp, it looks different from NA hooks. Even the figure 8 clasp loop looks different from the usual NA figure 8s, it looks stamped. No end cones, but not all of them have those. It looks like the maker was trying to reproduce a squash blossom necklace from a small photo, not from tradition. I saw that [USER=255]@reader[/USER] had a look (can't hide anything here:rolleyes::joyful:), what do you think?:)[/QUOTE]
