<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pat P, post: 408853, member: 201&quot;]I looked again at the brooch enlarged and this time noticed the black beads have foil, too. I&#039;ve had similar Czech beads with metallic foil over a black base, encased in clear glass. My beads were late 20th century, but the same processes have been used tp make beads for a long time. </p><p><br /></p><p>The center bead does look like foil under clear glass, too, and I think it probably is Czech.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not sure about the clasp... my gut says early 20th century, but I don&#039;t know enough to be sure. Others will probably pop up who know more than I do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
