[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 9822533, member: 76316"]Rather than an extra-length addition, they appear (due to the unusual manner of drilling) to be for wearer comfort & cosmetic appeal; the closure lays flat against the skin as a result of the drilling. There are some other variations in these; quite a few with more subtle color an' density evidence. If these are pressed amber, will that render the salt water (specific gravity) test unreliable?[/QUOTE]
