Great piece but is it restrung? old tassels at the end? or did they use hair ornaments as pendants also? Even the white shells are the type usually associated with hair ornaments. if it's a restring which it looks like, it's very nice .

Does this beautiful necklace belong to you? If so, some close up photos of the amber beads would be nice to see.
