<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pat P, post: 13770, member: 201&quot;]I&#039;m a bead person and can help a bit with that. If the &quot;awful&quot; necklaces are beaded, the beads may appeal to people who will restring them even if the necklaces themselves don&#039;t look too hot.</p><p><br /></p><p>The carved beads look like bone. You can test if they&#039;re plastic or bone by applying a hot needle tip in an inconspicuous place. It won&#039;t penetrate if they&#039;re bone.</p><p><br /></p><p>The silver-toned earrings with three purple stone remind me of vintage Mexican silver jewelry I have with amethyst stones, so I think it&#039;s possible they&#039;re the real deal.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m going to look back at the pics now and see if I have other thoughts about the beaded pieces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
