  • beautiful warm colours! It does not look like faux amber, but then I am no expert on amber. It has great colours!

  • These look lovely, very good faux amber beads!

  • Yes, I thought they were quite good examples of what will be a type of phenolic resin looking the part of amber. I have rubbed them frantically in vain hope. They refuse to build up any static charge.

  • No they are realy faux but pretty looking and nice large beads too.

  • Frankie, now these are interesting aren't they?  Lots of character - like them a lot.

    Never see any of these on ebay any more, is that where you bought them?  

  • Yes, Ann, they were from eBay. I think you can still find them, probably at inflated prices now. I`m thinking of selling these when I get home in October.

  • F, let me know when you are please.

  • Certainly I will. But postage to Aus. would be a lot. I could hang on to it till your next UK visit, if that`s preferable.
