<p>[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 375572, member: 111"]Can't recall seeing 'Real Silver' on any Asian silver, or for that matter, on any other silver either. Am bothered by the holes going through the sides rather than from top to bottom, seems odd for a necklace, though suppose it might work for an odd kind of bracelet. Believe those holes through the sides were more likely intended for a Stanhope viewer, and that Rocko23 is correct on their being Connemara marble (the Irish using 'Real Silver' wouldn't surprise me).</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://irishamerica.com/2015/01/the-things-they-carried/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://irishamerica.com/2015/01/the-things-they-carried/" rel="nofollow">http://irishamerica.com/2015/01/the-things-they-carried/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Connemara marble pig charms: <a href="https://www.google.com/search?biw=1396&bih=690&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=kFsuW9ewMoiUsgWouKvQAw&q=connemara+pig+charm&oq=connemara+pig+charm&gs_l=img.3...32903.35986.0.36573.5.5.0.0.0.0.122.405.4j1.5.0....0...1c.1.64.img..0.0.0....0.jaKAfPNxivI" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/search?biw=1396&bih=690&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=kFsuW9ewMoiUsgWouKvQAw&q=connemara+pig+charm&oq=connemara+pig+charm&gs_l=img.3...32903.35986.0.36573.5.5.0.0.0.0.122.405.4j1.5.0....0...1c.1.64.img..0.0.0....0.jaKAfPNxivI" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/search?biw=1396&bih=690&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=kFsuW9ewMoiUsgWouKvQAw&q=connemara+pig+charm&oq=connemara+pig+charm&gs_l=img.3...32903.35986.0.36573.5.5.0.0.0.0.122.405.4j1.5.0....0...1c.1.64.img..0.0.0....0.jaKAfPNxivI</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Connemara marble Stanhope charms: <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=connemara+stanhope&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjZxb3w--nbAhVQb60KHbAZA7EQ_AUICygC&biw=1396&bih=690" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/search?q=connemara+stanhope&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjZxb3w--nbAhVQb60KHbAZA7EQ_AUICygC&biw=1396&bih=690" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/search?q=connemara+stanhope&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjZxb3w--nbAhVQb60KHbAZA7EQ_AUICygC&biw=1396&bih=690</a></p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
