    I'd like to see the whole necklace before confirming its origin, as it looks middle-eastern to me -the pendants appear to be jet, each carved with a circle-dot pattern more likely found in jewellery from Afghanistan!

    I just noticed you have added an image of the whole necklace and I see these tassells dangle from a really big smooth silver-coloured metal bead with extended hollow "stems" at either end which are typical of Afghanistan or "Turkoman" assemblages. Sometimes they also incorporate old white shell pieces.

    The whole necklace is picture no. 22

    Yes it is, and I listed it as Turkoman/Afghanistan due to the Center bead. I have two of them and they are veery similar.
