[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 4613565, member: 51"]That was at a thrift store!!? Holy cow! What a gorgeous, amazing piece. Speechless! I don't know whether Neiger or not but definitely of the era, and I would think similar $ value. A treasure found! If it was me I'd probably just leave as is with the tiny missing bead since it's way in the back by the clasp. If you open up that brass wire you are going to have to un-bend it a fair amount to get a new bead to slip over. You [I]could [/I]try it, but run the risk of that wire snapping or becoming difficult to return to it's original shape if it gets a 2nd bend in it.
