Everything on the stands (the necklaces) were old genuine beads. Lying down were the newly made Indonesian necklaces. Some were extremely cleverly made and could have fooled me easily! Sorry no detailed pictures made. Too busy to discover them. This was my first face to face with Indonesian beads, old and new!
I was amazed how much the old blue jatim eyebeads resemble the ancient Islamic eyebeads. My friend Karen happened to wear an Islamic eyebead necklace and the resemblance was immense. In a couple of weeks, I'll try to make some pictures of both so that you can see what I mean.

I think I will leave it to this for now. Tomorrow some pictures of the BCN get together at Nels.
