Hi Sarah, It *screams* India!
Looks Indian or Pakistan and is a mixed metal? It has a tooth to the surface and is not shining quite like silver so I ask,, looks like the metal many of the colorful necklaces with glass are made from which are coming out of Pakistan. Mostly worn for dancing now this style is very popular with dancers. I can not tell from this photo if this has alot of age to it or not. They made these the same for a very long time.
Rajasthan for sure. Is it actually silver rather than an alloy.? There are quite a few around which look quite good but are not silver. This one looks good though.
