Kind of like the Ill Wills and their sorting crews; anything good gets sucked off before we're allowed to bait a hook. I don't fish, but the wild...
The beads are molded onto the string. I've seen that repair before. They aren't considered desirable here, but they're easily wearable.
They are intensely staring at something that looks like prey. Could be a mouse, a bird, or a human's foot.
Maybe their first initials are H, A and L?
I figured the lapis for real stone that's had the bejeebers dyed out of it. Really good imitation lapis glass looks much prettier, and also much...

Thanks. I knew the setting was silver, marks or not, but the stone was big enough that I had to make sure.

Seconded. Some of those can be a little odd, but may look good on once you figure them out. On the other hand, that's a PILE of Chinese freshwaters.
RE Sheriff of Nottingham: If that's a KB Toys sticker, best to leave be. The sticker itself adds some collector value these days.
It doesn't read as old to me. The color and the inside of the base look fairly recent ... but I'm willing to be told I'm all wet by the experts.
