These 2 necklaces are interesting in respect to the ambiguity that surrounds them and that they are submerged within. There is now clear evidence available that shows these so called "Tasmanian Apple Seed Necklaces" and other objects made from these seeds are in fact made from Ipil-ipil seeds and in almost all cases, made in The Philippines and NOT Tasmania. Clearly the seller here was unsure and was relying upon the understanding prevailing in Tasmania until recently and they were questioning that understanding by including ?marks in the keyword description.
The shell necklace is something else. It is unlikely to be Tasmanian but it will be possible to identify the shells and locate their areas of distribution. If it turns out that they are Tasmainan this necklace may provide a clue to the dimension and nature of commercial shell jewellery production in Tasmania late 19th C until the mid 20th C. There is every likelihood that it is an aberration. Again. the seller was not attempting to deceive and was questioning their interpretation with a ?mark.
