[QUOTE="KSW, post: 1545193, member: 8708"]I was monumentally slow on the uptake about these beads:facepalm:. I thought they were glass but I kept thinking there was something odd about them:sour:. Finally got round to giving them a good bath and the niggle made me have a look with a loupe and I’m sure they are coral as there are the clear striations on the smaller ones. They arrived in a batch of very old beads but is there a way of knowing if they are old or more modern?. I’m going to restring them so would be good to know what beads or clasps would be contemporary. Thankyou :-) [ATTACH=full]228531[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]228532[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]228533[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
