Hi Fred,
Nice beads, can you put a date/period on the gold and Pumtek beads?
Thank you.
Hendrik
The Pumtek are almost one hundred years old. I bought the gold beads from an Burmese antiques dealer in Chiang Mai about fifteen years ago. The clasp is from India about ten years ago.
Probably the gold is higher than 18K but it is difficult to be certain. Proper assaying requires melting. I have not run into similar pieces.
The parts with the rubies are from a Thai amulet necklace and probably made within the last fifty years.
Just Fred
