[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 9497262, member: 301"]Unless u know who bought it and where and when, these are guesstimates... I go by what I see , & what I think I now from experience.. The discolouration of the bone.... the atmospheric dirt, and grime where the beads are cut into... the metal spacers , all handmade, some scored some not... the the bundle twist cotton thread .... I try to estimate the age and wear of these factors...!;):cool: " they're so evenly spaced I thought they were purposeful" look closer....!! do u see the spot where they are not evenly spaced?? ... ... .. right under the clasp on the left side....!!!!! that extra spacing and the long loose threads show that a large bead on the left side was removed, and there was alteration and or repair to both sides...!!! imo ![/QUOTE]
