<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mansons2005, post: 185364, member: 121&quot;]The &quot;dark&quot; beads are the same deep gray colour and finish of of hematite (I have a lot of hematite). They LOOK like hematite, but feel much lighter. The rice pearl beads are all identical, no variations at all. On the other hand the gold-tone beads that flank the &quot;pearl&quot; beads look like nice quality, not too &quot;cheap&quot;. I forgot to mention that the beads are strung (no knots) on cord - not nylon, that looks like cat gut or like its waxed. The cords terminate inside one of the gold-tone beads with no visible knots or trailing ends. I can&#039;t get closed enough to feel the cord. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know - I get mixed feeling about this piece - it has some contradictions in quality and materials (and of course the only experience I have is with very current designer jewellery). I guess that&#039;s why I even brought it here. If someone told me it was a mediocre fashion import from the 80&#039;s I&#039;d agree. BUT............[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
