Featured sterling faceted glass bib necklace

Can anyone identify this gorgeous sterling faceted multicolor glass bib necklace? ("925" on hasp!). Allot of weight here ladies! Thank you!

 

I'd say India and very modern. Beyond that, dunno.

 

Haha : Before I saw the mark, I said, "How very 1970s!"

 

Looks 'ethnic tribal revival style' of the couple of decades that followed.
Yes, I made up that descriptive term, it was ethnic high fashion of the genre.

 

They've been coming out of India and similar spots for the last decade or so. A lot of the stones are glass.

 

The latest ones are shorter chokers. How long is yours? It looks to have little-to-no-wear?

Anton, I cannot tell if only your clasp is sterling, or if the entire chain and baubles are also cased in silver? What does it look like to you?

 

They're coming out of Jaipur, mounted in all sorts of metals - here's one supplier using sterling: http://www.jewelsjaipur.com/multistone-m-60.html?filter_id=3&sort=2a

Agreed, very modern,. I like these, I've picked a few up to keep.

 

Glass? A Jaipuri necklace with glass? That's a first for me.

 

I've not stuck a tester on mine, don't know if they're glass or actual gems.

 

Probably gems, all of my Jaipuri stuff has gems. It is the gemstone capital of India.

 

thanx cheryl!

 

have to get them tested!

 

I have another broader v-shaped one with 925 on the hasp and back as well!

 

thanx evelyb30!

 

Last time I was at my jeweler's, he showed me some beautiful gemstone pendants he'd designed in silver - said he saw no point in using gold on spec because he so had so little into the stones since they'd come from an Indian necklace. A customer had brought it to him to him to buy, he told her it was plated brass, but he would buy the the stones - she went off angrily, saying she knew it was solid gold, but came back a few days later, since other buyers told her the same, but none even wanted the stones.

Looking at close-ups of this piece on my laptop now, rather than my phone, would wonder if, other than the S-hook, it's silverplated brass...

This doesn't answer my question as to how long is it?

Cheryl is right to mention if the hook alone is silverplated brass. I wondered the same but failed to mention it.

 

I wondered the same too. None of my Jaipuri stuff has those rivets? or rings? on the back.
Here is a new silverplated one, different stones but you get the idea:
