<p>[QUOTE="Marko, post: 1156410, member: 210"]But... vintage glass coral beads are done very well. I have a few necklaces that even include natural "blemishes" in the glass beads to make it look like coral. But looking at your beads, I am thinking coral, not glass. Are they very uniform in size? What do the holes in the beads look like? Are they rough on your teeth? Coral will be slightly rough, gritty, like pearls, but not as much so. I would never do the lemon juice test.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
