<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JewelryPicker, post: 9714415, member: 20513&quot;]Picked this up last night at auction.&nbsp; It came in a mixed jewelry lot, but this was the only piece I was after.</p><p><br /></p><p>despite its bronzy gold patina, it seems to test for silver (scratch stone &amp; 18k acid).&nbsp;&nbsp; I obviously don’t want to file a bead to get a good test, because it clearly has a story. </p><p><br /></p><p>32” continuous, graduated faceted beads and ….boy is it heavy!&nbsp; The beads are solid, drilled just big enough for them to be fitted on wires. A few wire links look newer, likely replaced.&nbsp; Most of the beads feature small stamped decorations, some of which appear somewhat Native American.&nbsp;&nbsp; A few beads do not have stampings. </p><p><br /></p><p>US quarters in photos give you an idea of size</p><p><br /></p><p>any ideas?</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgflip.com/8ey1uj.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgflip.com/8ey502.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgflip.com/8ey574.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgflip.com/8ey53x.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
