Native American ?

Looking some help to identify this necklace looks to be coral and turquoise.

 

Tibet or somewhere like that. @Any Jewelry ?

 

Agree with OBB. Tibet, Nepal, China...

 

It is a hobbyist piece using Chinese dyed coral and turquoise beads, Indian silver spacer beads, and a Kazakh style pendant. Those silver disc beads are mostly made in Thailand and China, I think.

 

Thank you all for looking it’s much appreciated .

 

Interesting. I would have thought volume commercial but made in China over hobbyist. TY AJ.

 

It seems to have a bit of age to nice piece.

 

Tested the coral with acetone and they’re not painted pieces.

 

They could have a protective layer, unfortunately that also happens.

 

Those fluted silver beads certainly have some age, they are beautiful. I like the turquoise matrix beads too. And I always love that Turkmen granulated triangles decoration. Could we see the back of the pendant?

 

I like it too but you know those “gut” feelings we get...mine is that it’s just too “right” to be hobbyist including the S hook and I get more a feeling of a commercial version of “tribal” jewelry that used actual eastern elements and was strung in China but if it’s hobbyist they sure did a good job. It doesn’t matter since it isn’t purist either way but it’s certainly an attractive piece.

 

Thanks, Brubaker. The pendant is genuine Kazakh imo. The non-Kazakh repros look more tinny, often even brassey. The rest of the necklace is not Turkmen.

 

Thank you for looking I found a Kazakh the exact same saying it was gilded silver.Still think the coral is genuine if I take a jewellery glass there is a pattern of lines running through just like the real pieces of coral I’ve had a close look at.

 

The coral is genuine, no one said it wasn't, but it has been dyed. Enhanced, if you like.

 

Yes that’s ok just a learning curve I’ve ended up with a few pieces of Turquoise just recently here’s another large piece around 50mm square and 20mm thick in places.

 

Also have these other pendants I think Tibetan or Chinese no idea of age.

 

The eternal knots are Chinese, not very old. The one on the right could be Chinese, could be Indian.

 

Dyed Bamboo coral, not same as Mediterranean coral (corallum rubrum)
