Hi, I have 2 similar necklaces that I love due to the wonderfully worn turquoise beads. I have decided that they are Tibetan, but I truly have little to base that on. I am certain they are Asian, not Chinese, but from the Tibet area. Oddly, the way yours are strung, which mine are as well, is typically found on E. Indian necklaces. I've not seen others from Tibet, but I also do not find turquoise coming from India, so somehow these 2 areas are combined in this jewelry. Wish I could share more light on them, but they are special and not easy to find! Lynne
