I'm just starting painting up some Iron Duke mutineers and have come across a minor stumbling block. Several of the figures have bead necklaces around their throats. Although several references show these and show them as a shiny off white, I can't find any reference as to exactly what they are made of. The painted figures on the Iron Duke page appear to be plain white, which suggests a ceramic.
Are they silver, pearls, glazed ceramics or something else entirely? any suggestions would be appreciated.
