Help with antique necklace 18 century

[silveradrian]

Hello,I'm very puzzled by this antique silver necklace,with some arabic/otoman markings
If anybody has came across something similar to shed some light :D

Iit's Indian, but I don't think it's a few decades older. I could be wrong, let's wait for other opinions.

An Arab friend translated this hallmark as being a date,exactly the year 1743

Hi,
Year 1743 is wishful thinking.
It is modern production in an Arabic speaking country, even India.
Besides, B1 is seen in one of the images; clear indicator of 20th century.

It is plausible,I’m going to continue the research though

An Indian friend interpreted this writing as "nirmal" निर्मल that is "pure"

Amena

Hi,
Amena solved the mystery (if there was mystery at all, more likely we did not recognize Hindu script).
Nirmal is Hindu first name and it appears in Nirmal Jewelers.
Meaning ``pure`` does not refer to silver fineness (pure silver) but given name similar to Catherine from Greek katharos i.e. pure.
All said, modern production by Nirmal Jewelers, India.
