Inherited from my grandmother estate and I don't know whether these beads are Amber or something else. The clasp on the necklace and one of the earring sets has markings of 1/20-12k G.F. The other earring set with the seed pearls has no markings. The earrings are screwback. The only info I have is from the box the jewelry was in and I believe the name on the box is German, but I could be wrong. Any help as to what these pieces are is greatly appreciated as I don't have a clue ????
Thank you for your feedback and yes, they're beautiful ????
Absolutely beautiful! Are the beads warm or cold to the touch? ( hold them against your cheek).
The earrings almost look like butterscotch amber or perhaps egg yolk amber.
What a stunning combination of beads. The tones, textures, shape, there is a warmth to it, so beautiful.
Thank you all for the feedback! Yes, the beads and earrings are cold, not warm to me he touch.
Try to rub them, then put hair / piece of toilet paper nearby. If they are sticking to the beads, possibly amber. At least this is what I do.

Thank you! I didn't know there was a way to test Amber...I'm amazed at the wealth of information available on this site! :)
