This is a reconstituted necklace from vintage pieces dating to the 60s.  The artist used natural products like nut shells and beads to create the kickingest jewelry with ethnic flavor.  It is unfortunate that he never signed his work. 

But he was well known by anyone with an eye for artisan jewelry at the House of a Thousand Earrings. 

Truth be known there were millions of earrings through the years.
