I found this at an antique store in New Hampshire before we moved to the West Coast. The beads are 4mm Czech glass English cut very very pale 'opal' green in color. The orange beads are the same size and cut.

Obviously not in perfect condition! I bought it to take apart and use the beads, but now I'm not sure I should do that.

I'm thinking I'll put it up for sale or trade in the classifieds. Is it kosher to ask for a value? Thanks for any insights!

This bag is in worse condition, looks like the silk ribbon has mostly rotted away. 5mm clear English cut Czech glass, with irridescence, and very tiny faceted steel beads in the fringe (rusty!)

Any info on value? Whether I should just go ahead and take it apart for the beads?

Thanks for any insights, info, etc.

7mm faceted clear glass beads with brass caps, 28". I added the clasp.

This one is "scratchy", can't imagine wearing it! So it will go to the repurpose pile unless there are other possibilities...??

hello , to keep it like it is could help for datation of the beads - which are , I think , of very beautiful color . this object could have an historical interest and then act on its value

Good to know they may be of historical significance.
(sigh) Unfortunately, when I die, they'll just be sent to the nearest thrift shop.
I'll look for a loving home for them...
