Need help on sliding ball necklace

Part of a large lot I bought and just now doing research to see what is the best way to describe this sliding ball. The chain goes though the center so not like a Harmony chime. Pretty open work and small enamel tiles? Anyone with ideas? Thanks

Something I figured out about Paypal

I have had a PayPal account since 2001 or so. As soon as everyone began using it to collect payment. In all of those years and even when selling gold lots for nearly $1,000 and a Swarovski Eagle once for nearly $4,000, I never had a payment held. Thi...
