Elsewhere in this dialogue I reported:

"The in-question beads have well-rounded and melted ends, and small perforations. And, in that, they look more like Japanese beads."

I wrote this in-reply to the Chinese beads that are similar-looking, but do not have well-rounded ends (they being blunt), nor small perforations.

I said this based upon what I can see in the photos—which is all I have. And anyone else can see this too.
