I think this necklace looks wonderful, It´s very bright in color. I think it´s plastic but if so I don´t know what type. First of all I would like some ideas about what you think about the age, older or new?
I´m also interested in ideas about the material. I enclose some photos in two posts, I have some closeups of some details (imperfections) also (post 2). I´m greatful for your help!
The necklace is 56 cm long (open) which is about 22 inches. the weight is 106 grams which is 3,73 oz. The biggest beads are about 2 cm (0,78 inch)It has both round and barell shaped beads and has a hidden screwclasp in one of the beads. The thread is yellow. The beads aren´t exactly the same and the color is not the same in every bead.
Can´t really feel a distinct smell from the beads when I rub it or put it under warm water, may a very slight smell if any, hard to decribe.
Thanks pops52!
Vetraio50 thanks!
Aghcollect thanks!
Hello idcloisonne! I also think this is hard to tell, what this is. In post nr 2 I was given the suggestion it's polymer, which would mean plastic. I guess I need to see if there are other tests I could do. Thanks for answering me.
Thanks idcloisonne, Moonstonelover21, Racer4four and PhilipDavidAlexandermorris for love!
supposedly if you put it in salt water and it floats, then it would be butterscotch or egg yolk amber...but, if you put enough salt in the water, anything would float right??? Pretty tho.
Idcloisonne you're right, We'll see if there is an acrylic expert around...
Shareurpassion I will try it but I'm thinking this is not amber, it's too heavy I think. The question is what it is then. :-).
Geo26e, Mikelv85 and Shareurpassion thanks for love!

Thank you Rose! Yes, what ever the material (don't know for sure yet) the necklace has a wonderful shine and color! The last month I've been falling for orange/yellow pieces, it might be all the rain we have had here in Sweden that draws me to the sun.... Will post some more later today.
Thanks Sean68!
Thankyou Attwood, yashminski89, and AmberRose!
It turned out to be a very warm summer this year. This necklace was nice to wear with a long eveningdress. It started out as a necklace which wasn´t my style but I found a way to wear it, so it wouldn´t wear me :).
Thanks dear Valentino97!
