Looking for opinions on this claw necklace I found today. There is no hallmark that I can see and no sterling mark.
Approximate age
Value
Thanks as always for the help

Any opinions? Guesses?
Its cool, looks like it has some age, would guess 1980-90issh. The claws can be expensive, looks like silver beads except for at the top$120 - $150. What did you get it for?

Jason, curious, how much do claws go for today? Is this a black bear claw?
We had to do a bracelet recently for a customer and he wanted black bear claws like this, $12.

You’ve seen the grizzly bear necklaces? When they were the “must have” among high ranked tribal men,there were 3 ways to get one.
Left to you.
Kill owner.
Get 20-30 of your pals to kill a bear.
The Plains type “war shirt” could cost you 30 horses,btw.
I paid $80.00 for it at a local indoor flea market.
