This is an awesome necklace or maybe originally intended to be a necklace that was made in China with sterling silver. It might be made for export purpose with metal content hallmarks "argent" that means silver in French. No other signature can be found on this piece, but those who collects Chinese export jewelry will know what they are seeing. I have tested the necklace in a few places they are tested positive, although Chinese silver is more likely to be 900/1000. The piece is 34 inches long total includes the S-hook. There are a total 27 charms - each may or may not have additional dangling or tassels. Some are little bells that make a beautiful sound when moves. It can be worn for belly dances, can also be worn as a necklace as shown in pictures. it weighs 213.1 grams. Overall good condition, of the numerous little dangles hanging from the 27 charms, I see one missing from the bat charm, counting 4th from the right hand side on the lower row of charms. That is pretty good for an old piece like this. Shipping charge: Shipping included delivery confirmation and maybe insurance if final price over $50. Item over $250 includes signature confirmation.
