I have no illusions that they are old or of great value. I am planning on wearing thme, first making a necklace using the larger blue/black one as a focal. My son will be on the look out for different "styles" and send those I am interested in. I also like the two tone reddish one. I just wasn't sure the proper names for the "styles". The entire area he is in is filled with "antiques made daily". He has sent me some beautiful lapis and coin metal necklaces. Again, I know the history and value is not there,but I enjoy wearing them.
