The question, the owner of the beads raised, was about the authenticity of the beads. Are they old and authentic? Are they new and repros? Are they from Venice or were they made elsewhere? How to know? How to find out, to answer the question? Can we say something of value from photos alone or can only the scientific lab method give the ultimate answer (if even)? I already made my case in a previous post, concluding the beads are neither of Venetian origin, nor old. In my opinion not really a difficult case to crack. Today I would like to add further evidence based on my photo-analysis. Before I do so and in an effort to refresh your memories, here are photos of the two related candidates.
