Thanks for the reply Floor. I am having trouble reducing the KB down to an acceptable size for the complete necklace, but here are a couple more images, hopefully better quality. The necklace is on its original thread, missing a tassell. I left it exactly as I found it. The person that purchased tells me that they can see white residue inside the beads. I did look, as well as I could, inside the bead myself. I felt it looked dirty and grubby, but it did not look like the obvious white residue left by bead release. The quality of the beads also made me think Venetian. I feel quite upset at the thought that I have mis represented the necklace to a purchaser, and obviously will accept a return. I just want to know where I went wrong in my thinking with the attribution. Any help will be much appreciated.
