Vintage Choker Length Cherry Amber Bakelite ? And Yellow Bead Necklace 44 Grams
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:6845447 |
Cherry Amber and yellow bead necklace that I bought a while ago at a fair. They are a short choker length, 31 beads in total.
I have tested with simichrome and the result is shown in the photos, the 21 red beads went a yellow brown colour. There was no reaction on the 10 small yellow beads so I assume these are not bakelite, only the cherry beads reacted. If you shine a light through the beads you can see swirls, photos show these! The beads have been restrung at some point onto a p...lastic thread. I am no expert but sure that experts will know for sure if they are bakelite as I suspect!
Measures :
Necklace measures approx 40 cm long. The largest bead approx 2.5 cm long 1.5 cm wide, the smallest 0.7 cm by 0.5 cm. Total Weight just over 44 grams.
Condition :
Nice second hand condition.
