Long Description
A few of the small coral pieces have come out- they are completely round and are set down into the body of the bead themselves. I have 2 of the coral pieces but did not want to attempt resetting them myself. I would estimate the coral to be 90% intact.
History
I acquired them at an estate sale for $25.00 I know nothing and am guessing they are possibly Tibetan.
