    50 inches of beads! £3 from Charity Shop today. Would they likely be Japanese and described as millefiori? Thanks for any info.

    Looks to me like all the canes were faces, some quite distorted when the beads were worked...

    I associate those hook clasps and cylindrical metal findings with Indian jewellery but I don’t know if they are exclusively from India?

    India/Pakistan/Bangladesh somewhere maybe. I've never seen it on Chinese beads, just on stuff identified as Indian.
