[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 2601028, member: 2844"]It reminds me of one of my favourite necklaces, pic below (have to take another one :shame:). No amphoras.;) It has a maker's mark and 925, but it has been virtually impossible to find the origin of the maker. I first started out thinking modern Bulgaria, because both the circular motifs and the dangles on the triangular pendants are also seen on Bulgarian jewellery (modern and traditional). I actually bought Bulgarian earrings to wear with it.:) Then I saw a listing for a necklace by the same maker, it said Greek. Finally I saw a listing which said Turkey. It is marked on just about every component, the way Turkish jewellery is. So the 'working title' is: somewhere in the Eastern Mediterranean/former Ottoman region, with a hint of ancient East Med civilizations.:confused::facepalm: [ATTACH=full]271230[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
