[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 11966075, member: 51"]Thanks for a photo of the whole thing laid out. I have no idea what they are, but would have purchased them for $3 in a NY minute. I've been collecting vintage beads for a very long time and have never seen anything quite like these. They are absolutely not mass produced, no two the same. Even how each bead is attached to the chain is kind of unusual. It's not a standard Italian bead look, Japanese is a possibility but hesitating. The Japanese were making absolutely stunning glass beads in the 1950s, but it was more like you'd have a few killer beads on a 3 strand necklace mixed with plastic beads. Not a whole strand like this. I'm almost wondering if these were hand made by a skilled artisan, more of a one off? Can see why you got them![/QUOTE]
