<p>[QUOTE=&quot;elarnia, post: 4500143, member: 159&quot;]Lovely beads. The dark marks in the holes could be, as suggested, rub-off from the previous stringing material, or could be from the mandrel they were fired on. You could pick out one with the black on it and try a q-tip with a mild dish soap solution on it to clean them.</p><p><br /></p><p>To string you should look for a spacer bead to keep the porcelain beads from rubbing against each other.&nbsp; You could use seed beads, either clear or pick up color(s) in bead design, or use some small metallic spacer beads. I think they might look really good with some coral spacers. You could also string them on beading ribbon or silk ribbon cord, with or without knots between beads. </p><p><br /></p><p>The cool thing about stringing beads is that you can always take it apart and do something different if you don&#039;t like the first effort.&nbsp; Do please let us know what you do with them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
