<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 897443, member: 36"]The necklace is homebrew. Someone put it together from dyed freshwaters, junk spacers, and a what looks like a glass bead pendant. In the old days, gold prices were regulated. You'd find gold clasps on lower grade beads, so this could have been on costume pearls to begin with. Sterling clasps were common. Someone took a bunch of random bits and made them into something useful. If it dropped in my lap I'd take it apart again and re-reuse the pieces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
