<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 1627111, member: 2844&quot;]The entire necklace is original, nothing has been altered, and as Bronwen said, it is Egyptian .600 silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>Egyptian traditional filligree is not always marked, just like in many European countries. This is not the souvenir style, but the traditional style.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is nothing that tells me the crescent isn&#039;t Egyptian. In fact most of this folk jewellery is not marked at all, especially when it is .600 silver. So it is a bonus some of the discs are marked. Moon symbolism is a classic feature in North African women&#039;s jewellery.</p><p>The links with which the discs are attached to the crescent show Ottoman influence.</p><p><br /></p><p>The curb chain is used a lot in Egyptian folk jewellery, especially with filigree pendants. I have no reason to believe it isn&#039;t original to the piece.</p><p>The cabochon is glass, which is usually the case with this kind of jewellery. The important thing is the blue protective colour.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is a lovely necklace, genuine Egyptian folklore.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
