Hello! I just found your most interesting site and wonder if you might point me in a direction by which I might research a very unusual handmade piece of tribal (?) jewelry. I inherited this piece after my Father died. My dad served as a Lt. in the Navy in WW2 in the Pacific and the Aleutians. He returned with an ornate and substantial necklace, allready quite old , from the war. It is constructed of panels , which would have been linked but due to its age were no longer, which end in a deep V piece which would be the necklace front.
It almost looks like an Egyptian piece and is a bit collar like. It is made of a goldish metal , not too heavy , into which are inlaid small round colored glass (?) beads; each in their own setting of sorts. I have researched jewelry at my library but haven’t either found the proper country of origin or jewelry type and have no idea where to begin to hunt for it’s value or what this manner of jewelry might be called.
I would be most greatful if you had any tips for me regarding either what jewelry of this type is called or where I might begin better research.
Thank You!
My best,
Martha Kirkland Cuthbert
