| I've a commission just now for a pearl necklace for the mother of the groom. She has an old double graduated strand which look like glass pearls to me. But they have a sts clasp, with marcasite, which I plan to use on the new necklace. The pearls are knotted, and look old - I wouldn't know the age, though. Would it be typical to have a precious metal clasp with costume jewellery pearls, and would glass pearls be knotted? #
