My mystery necklace

Hi,
I posted this in General, but got suggestions to move it here. If I knew how I’d post a pic with this, but I’ve yet to learn how to do that – sorry.
“I’m new here and don’t know my way around too well yet. I have a necklace that I picked up a long time ago and could never figure out what it is. I’ve posted it [URL removed] [URL removed]
I’ve been checking with “experts” wherever I can find them, but I’m getting a lot of conflicting answers. It seems to be made of some kind of glass in two kinds of “beads” with three kinds of seeds set in metal (bronze?). If you have any ideas let me know. Or if you can point me toward any other experts, I’ll contact them,too. Thanx, Jan”

  • Looking at the gold holders on the seeds almost look like bullet shells that were recycled.

Yes, yesterday someone said they saw them for sale at Pier One for $19.95. It sure had me, and all my experts from museums, etc. stumped! Who knew! Thanx for your reply.
