This strand was interesting because it contained a number of beads that were made in two different places, so it is difficult to be certain which from photographs.They are 'borderline' beads, could be one or could be the other.. We have some that were made similar in appearance: Venetian style beads by Czech makers. Venetian style beads made in India. Czech style beads made in China. Which is the original and which is the newer version? We are uncertain based solely on photographs. We might or might not find further clues in person.
