[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 997852, member: 2844"]Lovely necklace, Judy W. Although I haven't seen this specific model necklace before, the general style looks to be from Himachal Pradesh, a state in the Indian part of the southern Himalayas. Their jewellery is amazing, mainly because their culture shows Indian, Indo-Persian, and Himalayan influences. In this case the use of multi-strand red coral is very Himalayan (think Tibet and Ladakh), and the silver elements are very Indian. Ladakhi jewellery uses a similar shape dangles too, so Ladakh is a possibility. But I am leaning towards Himachal Pradesh. Both Himachal Pradesh and Ladakhi jewellery are quite rare. The dangles have bells at the bottom, which the phallic symbols on Ethiopian fertility necklaces don't have.;)[/QUOTE]
