<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 196743, member: 36"]That's entirely possible; I've found costume pearls with precious metal clasps before. A lot of times they get missed because people see the glass pearls and miss the good part. The glass beads can be quite nice. I'd sell the clasp separately (new ones go for US$50 at least) and soak the beads in acetone to take the nasty paint off. The glass beads underneath are often rather pretty.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
