<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 1675938, member: 36"]These days Chinese freshwaters like those aren't worth much for resale. Those are what's known in the trade as "rice pearls", and these days they aren't popular. They often go for less than glass beads. I have hunch you don't know how to measure necklaces. If you say 12 inches, I'm guessing you measured it while the clasp is closed and actually measured only half of it. It has to be unclasped to actually find out how long it is; you have to measure the whole thing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
