Is this real coral? The larger bead looks it.
what are the brown beads made of? These beads with silver studs are normally made from black coral but these do not look like them. I agree the centre bead looks like real coral the others are to small to see.
Thanks Marie-Ange, you are right they are just like the black coral, BUT they don't have that creasing in them, or splitting like the black coral. These are reasonably heavy, and it looks like an amber resin, and maybe old.
