    No, much better! A nice quality pendant.
    It looks a bit Balinese, but it could be Central Asian Kazakh style silver with gold dusting and faux granulation.
    The granules are stamped, that is why it is called faux granulation. Faux in this case has nothing to do with the quality of the pendant.
    This one is recent, the tube bail is modern, if it is Kazakh style, it could have been made in Turkey. Otherwise it will have to be Balinese....:confused:
    Is there any decoraton on the sides? Could we see a picture, also a close up of the granules? That would help in determining for sure.

    These earrings are Kazakh, ca 1950s, .900 silver with faux granulation and gold dusting, tiny real coral beads. I wear them just about every day, they are hollow, so lightweight.:happy:

    This is Balinese, the granulation is real, so individual silver beads soldered on the base. No gold dust, but a gold appliqué decoration:
