[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 827384, member: 51"]Just back, thanks for the additional posts here. This is great information. I know zip about this kind of thing, but decided to take a chance on it for $7 (half price day) at an estate/moving sale yesterday. Usually not what I purchase, but the former owners had some interesting vintage pieces through out the home and I'm starting to open my eyes to some other jewelry items, thanks in part, to this site. It feels a bit better in the hand (as if not newer/made in China) which is why it caught my eye. Definitely some quirkiness to it. Several beads have chips and in between the beads is very dusty for some reason, outside not. Also there is this odd little bead at the end (photo 2) which I think IS plastic. Just one bead, a different color, the gray one. Would not be shocked if for African trade, etc. Maybe something the former owners picked up on a trip? Interesting to google Idar-Oberstei[SIZE=4]n, etc. Helpful info. Thanks!:)[/SIZE][/QUOTE]
