I have looked at countless hallmarks on the net but can't place this one.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, I meant to write that it does not attract a magnet.  The sections "clink" as if they were some kind of metal - although the very bottom part appears to be of a different material - perhaps some sort of stone.

It came from the estate of an American WWII Vet who was stationed in Japan.

Having a difficult time researching this.  It appears to be metal that does attract a magnet (copper?) but I haven't been able to find anything like it.  If anyone has any ideas on what this is (period, material, etc.)  I'd be grateful.

Can anyone help me with this?  The pieces are simply marked "Silver" on the bottom.

I've obtained this necklace but have thus far been unable to research it with any success.  I'd be grateful for any information.  I believe it was purchased in Japan, but that's all I know about it.  Thank you......

I believe this is Kangxi but am unsure of the mark's era.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
