<p>[QUOTE=&quot;quirkygirl, post: 6920951, member: 106&quot;]Tonight, I&#039;m asking about a really weird, damaged mystery necklace that I&#039;ve had for a while but cannot bring myself to dismantle, dispose of, or even wear it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s 16½&quot; long not including the hook (just because I don&#039;t really think the hook is the original clasp - could be wrong)&nbsp; Strung on a fine woven foxtail or wheat chain and the metal beads at each end appear to be soldered on.</p><p><br /></p><p>The spring ring clasp looks to be the style used around the turn of the century (not this past one ... the one before that) <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":p" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Cannot for the life of me figure out what the little glass &quot;beads&quot; are supposed to be.&nbsp; The ones that aren&#039;t damaged/broken look like little sweaters, but I know they probably aren&#039;t that.&nbsp; Some sort of flower?&nbsp; A primitive hand maybe?</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, when I was taking pics of the back of the beads (last two photos), I noticed each had a small blackened area going down their back ... as if the bead was stuck on a metal rod while it was being formed.</p><p><br /></p><p>What do you see?</p><p><br /></p><p>Guesses to the age of this?</p><p><br /></p><p>Where do you think it was made?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for looking and offering up your thoughts about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]420989[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]420990[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]420991[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]420992[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]420993[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]420994[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
