<p>[QUOTE="Houseful, post: 409941, member: 1067"]Sorry to hog the Forum with my bead queries. These were left in the jumble jewellery biscuit tin (along with the seed beads) and I thought someone cared enough to string them together. I’ve found out two are called melon beads (black one is an inch long) [ATTACH=full]142759[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]142760[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]142762[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]142763[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]142764[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]142765[/ATTACH] and were used all over and may be Roman, these are the 4 strung together. It’s difficult to figure out whether they made from stones, glass or clay, but the pale round one on the long string is definitely stone. Any thoughts anyone? I do realise it’s difficult without handling them but any info or opinions are appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
