<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joan, post: 938654, member: 5398&quot;]I recently bought this necklace at a thrift store because of the beads, but then discovered the clasp (which obviously isn’t original to the necklace) is marked “14KG.”&nbsp; I have three questions: </p><p>(1)&nbsp; Could the “G” on the clasp be the maker’s mark?&nbsp; I searched this forum for 14KG and found a discussion about 5 years ago, but it turned out the “G” on the clasp in question was actually an “S”.&nbsp;&nbsp; I also googled 14KG, but couldn’t find any examples.</p><p>(2) Are the glass beads Peking glass possibly by the Neiger Brothers, or is it impossible to tell who made them? </p><p>(3) It’s obvious that someone who didn’t know what they were doing put together this necklace with mismatched parts. I’d like to remake it using my stash of old brass chain necklaces, links, wires, and clasps. I also have other old glass beads, but I&#039;m not sure if I should just limit it to the original beads and maybe 2-3” of old brass chain between the beads to make it longer, or string it with other glass beads </p><p>Any information and suggestions would be appreciated.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]202951[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]202952[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]202953[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]202954[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
