<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 657505, member: 2844&quot;]Love those brass beads, KSW. They could be Indian.</p><p>The turquoisy beads don&#039;t have the uniform colour usually seen on dyed magnesite or howlite. Whatever they are, probably Chinese or Tibetan.</p><p>The pearls are faux, that little ring in the last photo is what remains of a broken glass end of the pearl.</p><p><br /></p><p>The thin cylindrical style of the box clasp was already used in the 18th century, but I have also seen them from the early 20th. As Holly said, they could still be made, although I haven&#039;t seen recent ones.</p><p>This one looks old to me and it could be worthwhile to have it tested. Someone could accidentally have used an old gold one.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/redface.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie98" alt=":wideyed:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
