<p>[QUOTE="KSW, post: 2169316, member: 8708"]Hunting for some beads in my stash to repair another necklace I came across these beads that I obviously acquired and didn't know what they were made of.

Obviously complete sale ban in U.K. but I'd like to restring appropriately. Were they traditionally strung with other beads or just on their own? Does this clasp date them?. Bit of plastic screw is loose so I don't know if that's original. Largest beads c15mm.</p><p>They are quite discoloured and need a wash.
