[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 321516, member: 85"]I think your beads were repaired. Notice the bright brass color connecting the blue beads, then notice the steel color connecting the the older colored sections. Also look at the quality of the faceted blue glass beads. They are different. The sections of blue beads with brass connectors are newer than the section with the colored beads capped by blue beads. [ATTACH=full]106999[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]106998[/ATTACH] I suspect the original necklace was long - close to opera length. I don't know for certain, but I have always thought this type of beaded necklace was from the 1930s. I have some old ones put together the way your colored ones are, that an antique dealer gave me when I was about 12. She told me they were from India.
