Hello!
These beads came my way today. Maybe they are carved glass Mandarin Court Necklace beads? One of the four large beads has a hole drilled perpendicular to the main hole.
The pearls are interesting to me. They are quite lovely and appear to be made in layers with a clear layer over the pearly layer. Pictured below are some damaged ones that hopefully show this a little.
I wonder where and when they were made. Looking for "cased glass pearls" has gotten me nowhere.
Cheers,
L
