[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9568347, member: 2844"]These were never belts. But I agree, there is something odd about the stringing, with those strange crochet-like ends. It could be a home re-string. There is also something unusual going on with the backs of the crescent shaped parts of the clasp, some black stuff has been added. Those thin strings tend to wear, and repairs aren't always sympathetic to the piece. Mine was re-strung when it was still my mother's, and non-period gold 'lakbolletjes', lacquer ball thingies, were added (what are those called in English?): [ATTACH=full]459346[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
