on bottom of Very Long chain, is this drop & balls... Anyone know anything about this piece? Am I even on correct page now? Its so different, since I last visited! TY in advance for Any Info this Beauty!!!
I bought a necklace, exactly like this in 1976 new in Cairo locally made. It is silver. Will place a picture tomorrow. Mine is with a pendant.
Of what stone are the translucent facetted beads - carnelian?
That type of chain is often used for redesigning, incorporating older beads. The fancier silver beads could be Yemeni Bawsani work.
Thanks, Nada. Do you know if the chain is being made currently?
To my knowledge, this is no longer made. The "youngest" pieces are from the 1970s.
Thanks, Nada, good to know.
I have posted some minutes ago a necklace from Cairo from 1978. with a note to Frankie and Nada, I wonder if they overlooked it?
Yes I think that the 1970s is when it stopped being made. Too hard to make I would guess. Here is a link to photos I've just posted for the same type of chain from Palestine:
