Indian necklace - further info?

Posted by Preethi on September 20, 2012 at 1:40pm

I was told that the necklace was first sourced in India. It then moved to Hong Kong, then to the States and is now with me.Any thoughts on which part of India this could be from?The beads are hollow gilt silver and quite large.
