<p>[QUOTE="Sandra, post: 1367311, member: 3335"]It seems to me that it's missing at least 4 red beads plus green spacers on the clasp side. If the clasp were to be positioned center back, there should be equal beads on both sides. Could be that beads were lost on the "female" side of the clasp and the clasp loosely attached until replacements could be found. If 4 red beads and spacers were found, this would extend the overall length by as much as 2 inches. I would remove 2 red beads from the longer end and add them to the shorter end, then fill the rest of the thread with easily found green spacers to make it into a wearable length.</p><p>Finding a tongue end to fit the remaining side of the clasp will be the major challenge, it would be a shame to have to place an entire new clasp, losing the Czech. identifier.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
