[QUOTE="KSW, post: 709099, member: 8708"]I’m presuming it’s damage not deliberate anyway. Looks like someone left a ballpoint pen in a bag of jewellery :( The toffee coloured bead necklace is long-77cm long doubled. I think they are amber beads ( pressed?) as they fluoresce nicely but the white beads appear to have ink on them. Its on the inside of every bead so I thought maybe ink had wicked it’s way along the thread but the thread is clean :pompous:. There is another what I think is mother of pearl necklace too again with ink on it. Craft project gone wrong? Any idea what the white beads may be ( worth saving or not?) I’ll give them a scrub but I don’t hold out much hope as it looks like it’s soaked in. The amber ones are fine. Would you unstring the white/ amber ones and try (*whispers*) bleaching the white? .Then restring?. Or ditch the white ones and find some new ones to go with the amber? The MOP is probably beyond changing but I’ll give them a bath and see. Thanks :-) [ATTACH=full]187542[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]187543[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]187545[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]187546[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]187547[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]187548[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]187549[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]187550[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
