[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 243121, member: 2844"]Very nice necklace. I agree, the stone is probably obsidian. Silver filigree is found all over Europe and Asia, with a huge concentration around the Mediterranean and on to Portugal. The two filigree links nearest to the chain, with the discs, look Middle Eastern to me. The irregularity of the spiral winding of the filigree looks North African. This necklace could be Egyptian, but if so, I'd expect a different chain. Maybe a replacement?[/QUOTE]
