Featured bead necklace lot

lot i bought at local auction today. a new local auction company i've never used before

everything seemed to make their money, no real bargains to be had

think i paid just over £20 for the lot

looks like alot of them have been restrung badly (theres a restringing kit in bottom left corner, so looks like the beads with the white stringing have been attempted to be restrung

think some of them look interesting, some lookrubbish

anything look of interest ?

picking them up tomorrow

 

STILL, looks like a Box of Fun, Charlie!!!!!!!!!!

 

think the white might be tagua nut

some look czech peking glass

dont know about the turquoise and brown ones

red looks seemed rubbish

pearly abalone ones look interesting

 

getting them and going through them is half the pleasure aqui

 

Maybe turquoise beads. Some could be glass made to look turquoise. The blue ones: one cracked and was badly reglued. I'd be thinking stone, almost certainly dyed. The lighter blue oblongs at the top may be too. The clear ones could be pre-WWII Czech glass. At L20 you didn't get burned if you were after beads to mess with.

 

thanks evey, always value your opinion

burned ? what me

 

i thought the blue ones looked almost pyrite inclusions (near bottom)

 

Looks like some nice stone and glass beads. The small long strand of turquoise could potentially be real if older but it's hard to even tell sometimes. You could take them all apart and redo them into new creations.

 

The ones at about 2 o'clock seem to be glass. The dark blue ones at 7 o'clock look like random dyed rock. The ones I see that look like turquoise, probaly Chinese, are all 6 or 8mm or close enough.

 

they look Chinese turquoise beads from here, but cant tell for sure yet

dont need an excuse to get restringing, its a joy

 

watcha reckon at the bottom red black swirl evey, thought maybe italian glass

 

Hard to say at this point. Could be anything except natural.
