Hi,
this is third generation of these bibs. When they were still using mostly old pieces but definatly not all old. Like center gau is new as well as the style of turquoise bead is real but new from China, not Tibetan, the coral is all old but the silver balls are not the way the old ones would be. This dates around late 80's.
sequence is (late 70's early 80's mostly all old ones available, 1985-87 looks like old ones made from all old parts with some using new parts, 87-90 Use of some old and half new parts, making up random patterns on the necklaces 90-95 Patterns enlarge, more fantasy, mostly new beads but still mostly real mateirials. 95-2000 Mostly fake materials and beads, very simulted looking. up through present still producing them with glass beadds, and random style of padded neck with production look.
Thanks alot linda for having a look at it, the difference in mine and yours is very good visable.....
