kstarfaerie @beccaxnorris hi, the belonged to my mom. But also the style of hook with the flat hammered edge is pre-80s!

beccaxnorris @kstarfaerie so cool! I was wondering how to date beadwork but this is incredible :)

kstarfaerie @beccaxnorris thank you! It's pretty tricky from beads alone, if I don't know the history of a piece I start with G-lens, then if there's no hardware I'd look at the thread used if it's older or plastic. I'm not super good with beads but I can tell the difference between a quality Japanese seed bead and the fake ones from Wish etc. (they break very easily). If you have something you'd like help with I'd be happy to take a look!
