<p>[QUOTE="Joan, post: 947593, member: 5398"]Thank you AJ -- I was looking at the Satin Glass section in Jargstorf's “Baubles, Buttons, and, Beads” book (pages 137-138), and those examples look kind of glossy, but maybe it was just the way they were photographed (it seems I recall you mentioning that you have that book). In any case, none of the examples have the mottled look, so maybe I was grasping at straws to find a name for my beads, when I should probably just call them Bohemian mottled glass beads.</p><p><br /></p><p>It will be a lot of work if I decide to reconfigure the necklace, but "fixing" vintage jewelry is a very relaxing way for me to spend a day or two. My goal will be to make the "married" piece look better than it does now so I can either sell it in the future or pass it down to my daughter and granddaughter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
