The Java beads are (generally) noticeably lighter in weight than Venetian beads of same dimensions, due to different glass formulas. Venetians would have higher lead content.
I agree, though, that mixed in and roughed up a bit, it will be hard to discern good Indo copies from Venetians on a mixed strand. And we know it happens, as we've already seen this on "The Bay", remember, R ?
