Ran into a friend of 25 years today at one of the local flea/antique markets. She was helping at her brother's stall. I saw this necklace and she said I could have it for 10 bucks. Sold.
The interesting bit is that I can't separate the chain from the pendant. The small end of the chain simply does not fit through the opening, nor does the chain have any flexibility in that respect. Makes me wonder how someone got the pendant on the chain.
Hmmmmph....oh well no matter. Just odd, is all.
I now know who made the pendant, thanks to Dizzywizarddave!
Thanks!

I see a S around a A surrounded by a G or a C, I searched for GAS Bijoux, but couldn't find their mark... here is the link to their site:

Diz - your eyes are younger than mine, too! LOL It certainly does look like the same mark. I have never heard of her.
Instead of Dizzydave, how about Wizarddave?
:-))))))
Its same, I used filters on your pic and clearly pulled mark out, exact as her marks on multiple items I have found online. This is earlier stuff by her as Im researching.
She even uses the stones in a lot of her pieces...
Diz - I tried a Google Image search and also several slightly different searches for a tiger eye silver pendant and didn't manage to find anything like mine - not yet, anyway.
She could of made it as a one off? I looked at even more of Her Vintage Pieces last nite. The marks are identical to Yours. Now if You look at Her New stuff, You can see She uses the same kind of stones in new pieces. Something to do with a Wheel of Life Pendants.
Diz - hmmm. Ana Bekoach isn't a person, it's a Jewish prayer.

Bonnie and Dave are way too smart. I'll be running along now. ;)
Very nice!!
LMAO! Search continues! :)
ebay link above says Ana BeKoach is company name?
Same in other link, not a person but a Company.....
Diz - yes, a company. I wish I could find another one of these necklaces. I took it to my friend at the pawn shop for a lookie, and she said that the pendant is permanently on the chain, as the bit on the end of the chain was soldered into place after adding the pendant.
How odd.
Looks like a Tigers Eye stone, the stone for direction and purpose. Awesome find!!!!
