  • Hi Linda, I have an almost identical piece in very good silver, but as it seems to be just a bit too small for a neck, makes me wonder if it was made as an armlet. It stays put when I place it on my neck though. So I was wondering if these were made in different sizes for varied uses. Thanks!

  • This is definately neck size , could be the one you have is for a child?   there are similar styles in bracelets but they are so much smaller hard to get confused.   You should post it so we can see it.

    I think maybe just  a really small one for a child perhaps?
