    Very attractive type of necklace with ornament and flashy colour of red corals...I wonder how old is this piece, which  must be quite rare?  Thank you for posting this

    Thanks Mustafa, it's obviously difficult to date precisely and besides a lady would have collected or had small pendants made when she could. I'm guessing early to mid 20th C. On my part I have rarely seen pendants made so fine. Ive seen more rough ones with enormous asking prices. They are definitely older than many in the current market place.

    Such an abundance of pendants, particularly those long oval ones. As you suggested It looks like a genuine old necklace with plenty of additions. Gorgeous.

    Very interesting indeed , thanks for sharing this with us. Congratulations on the very good piece..which I honestly think it is quite old and very professionally crafted...Thanks for the comment.
