Vintage Red Cherry Amber/Bakelite? Graduated Round 17 “ Beaded Necklace,

Unsure if it’s real Amber or possibly Bakelite?, It’s not glass,

The colour is a warm cherry honey colour, beads are fairly clear,

Warm to touch like Amber, smells a bit like tree resin when rubbed.

Weighs 47.8 grams just the beads without the extension chain

Beads length is approx 17” long, the larger beads are approx 1cm see pics,

I’ve added a silver extension chain it’s approx 24.5” with the extension chain on, the extension chain is a bonus, as it’s a bit unmatched.

The beads are strung with very thin wire, the ends are in need of a couple of jump rings I may be able to get that done on request,

or you could restring them.

The centre of the necklace has 2 spacer beads each side all the rest have 1 spacer bead each side of big beads.

I’d say this is most likely Amber, but I’m no expert, so sold as seen

Dm for any more info,

I don’t mind trying any at home further testing methods you may know,

If it causes not harm, if you want to dm them to me, I can picture results,

I have a uv torch. Don’t really want to do the salt water test though as wire may rust.

Please see my other items for combined postage thanks
