Unusual Tadjik necklace made of red dog bone Bohemian beads, clusters of old silver beads, black and white glass beads, and a piece of what looks and feels like black incised jade conical central bead. Recently restrung?

Interesting shape and texture. Do you think the coral colored element is real coral or glass?

There isn't any coral in this piece. I suspect these glass red Bohemian dog bones were used because the necklaces are usually made of coral and this was a cheaper option?
