<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSW, post: 3574045, member: 8708&quot;]I snapped up a nice little lot of costume jewellery on eBay. These coral necklaces were in it. </p><p>The colour you see is very representative of how they are. Is this deep orange colour representative of an origin? They don’t appear to be dyed. </p><p>Am I right I’m thinking probably antique or just vintage?</p><p>1)The bigger beads- I&#039;m not sure if that clasp is the original but it works well so if it is contemporary I will restring with that clasp. They are a good length - c60cm end to end and each bead is 4-5mm. These are keepers <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />.</p><p>2) The smaller beads are carved into dumbbell shapes.c50cm.</p><p>I know branch coral is no where near as desirable but are these of value? ( I’m not asking how much, I just can’t find comparable to give me an idea)</p><p>I’ll possibly restring and sell these. </p><p>I usually knot between each bead but that wouldn’t work aesthetically with these so would you put the odd little Pearl to knot either side or just leave as one long string? </p><p>Sorry that turned into a bit of an epic!</p><p>Thanks for looking <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]306153[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]306154[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]306155[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]306156[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]306157[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
