Hi Martine,
Wow, I really appreciate the pictures and information enthuse interesting pieces.
...
I was thinking I'd just remove the phenolic beads and then sell the chain & fibula but now I have a whole new perspective. The chain is very uncomfortable for wearing around the neck so I am considering replacing it with a braided leather or something easier on the neck.

Thanks again for the wonderful "lecture" on fibulae!
