I’ve also attached a picture of an old brass chain necklace that I thought I might use to add space between the green beads (and use the brass clasp). </p><p>[ATTACH=full]203115[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]203116[/ATTACH] </p><p>Lastly, I’ve included a photo of pieces with similar glass, but maybe not as old?
