<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Susan Lucky, post: 216768, member: 4112&quot;]Good Morning!&nbsp; Wow,&nbsp; you really have a handle on this eastern pieces. Your collection is amazing. I have been perusing your store. Interestingly, I saw your &quot;glass/coral&quot; bead necklace and I have one very similar and wondered if it might be coral. Mine is more orange/salmon than red, but under a strong loop, the beads look different than regular glass seed beads. Thank you SO much. What a help you have been.&nbsp; I will go look up the stone and see.&nbsp; The color is very pale compared to yours.&nbsp; But, this necklace is at least from 1890 and that is assuming my great grandmother got it within a year of traveling to the United States to immigrate. Which I find unreal.&nbsp; She was so so poor.&nbsp; I imagine it was older and given to her by a relative or friend before she left as a gift.&nbsp; My family, in Italy, was a poor family and lived in a very modest home, that had been theirs for over one hundred years, lived in generation after generation! My mom traveled there and looked up our history in the local Catholic church.&nbsp; It keeps all the deaths, births and marriages for the town.&nbsp; Ironic that the information is helping me ID a piece of jewelry. But, it adds to the provenance.&nbsp; Again&nbsp; thank you so very much! I&#039;m TossedAndTarnished on Etsy if you want to see some of the eclectic, if not bizarre mix I have inherited and listed. :&nbsp; )[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
