    Please can anyone helps with the ethnicity of this necklace please?. @Any Jewelry :kiss:The beads are beautifully tactile. They test as silver (on a touchstone) and seem to be filled with a felt like substance which can be seen on a damaged bead. They came in a small bag of costume from a dealer who is so zealous with checking what he is selling he practically quivers so I can’t imagine he has missed these being anything of interest but you never know! They polish up nicely with a silver cloth but no hallmark or stamps anywhere so maybe plated or low grade?
    String part looks fairly recent although some damage to the ends of a few beads. Each bead is 1.5cm and there are 31 of them.
    Thanks for looking :)

    Just found these on Etsy. Same thing?
    Accurate with the origin do you think?

    Yes, Rajasthan, usually filled with a hard wax. Surprised to see a fabric stuffing there:)

    Cool!. I was thinking I had overpaid at £10 for the bag of bits (yes, I know :rolleyes:)but even if this sold one is WAY overpriced I’ve probably done ok. Thanks @kyratango!. I’m going to google the wax filled ones :)
