<p>[QUOTE="Joan, post: 4613582, member: 5398"]Lucille, your explanation and advice about working with the existing wire is great...you convinced me not to take any chances with it unless I have a piece like it with the same patina. I do have some raw brass bead pins that have an aged finish, so I might experiment with one of those if I can find a matching blue bead--or, if/when I sell the necklace I could send the extra bead and wire along with it for someone else to use.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I bought the necklace at my favorite thrift store ($8.98+tax) I didn't realize it was marked Czechoslovakia until I got home. It's one of the few thrift stores in my area where I still run across "real vintage" jewelry. But they're more aware of values now than they were a year or two ago (except for this necklace). There were two thin bakelite spacer bangles (nothing special) in the jewelry case that would have been $1.98 each a year ago, but today they were $8.98 each and even had "bakelite" written on the price tag (I didn't buy them)--so I don't have much hope for finding anymore bakelite bargains there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
