I doubt the necklace itself is silver, but the coins definitely are. Personally, I think the necklace is brass or pewter plated with silver.

It is not clear when the Ou011fuz-Turkic-speaking tribes first settled in Central-Asia, but we do know their first contact with the region was over two thousand years ago. After their defeat to the Ku00f6k Tu00fcru00fck Qau011fanate, they were forced to migrate deeper into the region. As a result, they came to rule over not only the bulk of the Central-Asian region, but also Eran itself. The group that would accomplish this were known as the Qu0131nu0131q tribe, the tribe from which the Sau0308lu00e7u00fck dynasty would descend. Having previously been a lesser tribe, the Qu0131nu0131q's Sau0308lu00e7u00fck branch punished the former ruling tribes of the Ou011fuz u0130l by sending them to the western frontier of their empire. This is how the ancestors of the Ottomans, the Qayu0131 tribe, would come to inhabit the Anatolia.

As such, the Ottoman Empire was an Anatolian based Ou011fuz Tu00fcrkmau0308n state with Central Asian origins. Its founder and namesake, Ataman, later anointed as "Osman," was a member of the Qayu0131 tribe of the Ou011fuz Tu00fcrkmau0308n, who had migrated from the East. Ruling from 1299 C.E. to 1922 C.E., their lasting influence on the Anatolian landscape, in the Middle East, in Europe, and in Central-Asia could not be overstated. They would be eventually be succeeded in the region by Tu00fcrkiye or the "Republic of Turkey."

Ottoman jewelry has a long and complex history. It essentially began as Central-Asian in style, but as the empire incorporated more and more people, more and more layers were added to their jewelry traditions. Today, it is a healthy mix of Central-Asian, Turkic, Persian, Armenian, Arab, and Greek traditions.
