This is an Indian necklace. I received it from my mother when I went back to my parents' home. She bought it many decades ago and doesn't remember the materials. She did say it was quite expensive. By looking and touching it, it seems to be turquoise. It's not lightweight beads. It will be shipped in a small envelope with simple packaging. This is a used item and has been stored at home. Please understand this, including the shipping method, before purchasing. No price reduction.
