I am so in love this piece I cant wait to wear it! I have to replace the chain, but it should be an easy fix. I just have to find the right color chain. Its unsigned but I'm thinking Mexico or maybe India? What do you guys think? Thanks for looking.

Stunning !!!!
Thank you Manikin, and everyone for all the love!
Great necklace! I would say India, not Mexico.
You will look fab in it.
Thank you AP, I actually fixed it and wore it for the first time last weekend. I got lots of compliments on it. My husband was not happy! It was mostly men wanting to get a real good close look at it if you know what I'm saying:p Thanks again for all the loves.
I hate to admit this.......but....it looks like one I saw a belly dancer wearing in a dark smokey tent at the county fair when I was a kid. Believe me......I know about needing a closer look. I always appreciated a necklace.
LOL! I'm not sure why you would hate to admit such a natural thing? I knew exactly what I was doing when I got ready to go out that night.
