[QUOTE="quirkygirl, post: 759823, member: 106"]I would say 'not necessarily' ... My observation with spacer beads has been that 14K ones are usually very thin walled and older, used ones collect dents and creases from contact with the beads they're strung with or other things in a jewelry box. But, with those black coral pieces being fairly lightweight, they might not be too hard on a fragile gold bead ... or the necklace could have been stored in it's own presentation box when not being worn. So I guess I can't be much help for you here ... sorry :( Sometimes you get lucky and can see where the gold has worn through on a GF bead (around the hole for stringing) from rubbing the bead next to it.[/QUOTE]
