My first thought too. Do you know the type of seed or seed pod these beads are meant to resemble?
OK, I see, it is the same on both sides. [ATTACH] My first thought was also that it was French. I do not see anything like it among the French...
I lost most of the Big Reveal in an episode of Boardwalk Empire when I spotted a familiar image on a child's grave marker. [ATTACH] It's...
