Vintage Blue Lapis Afghan Kuchi Necklace

I’ve been told this is Afghan and also told it’s some type of African all I know is it seems very nomadic, bohemian vintage, tribal very interesting and I’m sure it’s one of the two ! Primitive, silver beads ; I don’t think are sterling though some people on their post say similar that they are silver but I doubt Total length from end to end approx 16”. Possibly at one time there might have been one or two more lapis beads hanging down, but it’s as is. . Questions? Leave a comment below! As similar to the last stock pic of an African necklace.
