    Eileen, there are some like this that come from Maharashtra too. It must contain a fantastic amount of silver. How much does it weigh?

    I've read that the lozenge shape in the middle is typical of belts from central and south India. So as Thelma says, this is possibly from Maharashtra.

    This is lovely. I have several chains from India that are made in the same style.
