[QUOTE="IvaPan, post: 8913908, member: 78949"]Bronwen, to me it looks like the Czech pieces popular here in 1960s but even if it is from 1950s as you suggest, it means that it is from West Germany although marked only Germany. I don't say the TS' necklaces is after WWII, I say that the mark Germany without mentioning "West" can be before but also after WWII (i.e from West Germany without mentioning West) so other features should be used to determine its age. I tend to think that in both directions there was no exchange of goods of this type (technologies and machinery is a different story, they were indeed exported eastwards). But people still travelled from here to West Germany, although a few did it, and someone might have bought the necklace as a present for his wife, or the wife to have bought it herself (if accompanying him), and some 60 years later the necklace is discarded as invaluable plastic, and comes to me.
