Featured Peking glass necklace... To buy or not to buy?

Hi joolies!

Photos are from this 16 inches Peking glass necklace listing


I bought it for 19.99£...

OPINIONS?

 

Bit expensive? I'm not seeing anything out of the ordinary, but that's just me.

 

Thanks Obb for looking There is something out of the ordinary

 

Looking forward to learning something here...

I thought Peking glass beads looked like this?

 

The Bohemian Pekin Glass ones are often one colour and opaque.

 

You're right, but those you showed are Peking glass carved overlay!
Chinese made too plain glass beads without decor called too Peking glass... And, to add to confusion, Czech made turquoise or jade imitation glass beads called in listings Peking glass too

 

Absolutely

 

What could be the material of my necklace?

 

Are you thinking jade?

 

MmmMMM!

 

I did find the original listing , and that last photo (not shown here) swayed me to thinking the beads were stone rather than glass. I hope you're correct!

 

Clever you! I forgot the last image...

 

Outstanding and soooooooooo savvy of you. I would have just assumed glass and not looked twice. Unusual and beautiful color of jade

 

Thank you! First thought with quick look was amazonite, then the clues appeared
Not a high quality jadeite, rather opaque, it seems, but the color I love

 

Aha! I see what you did there.

 

The clues are there
Those circled fractures are caracteristic for me of old jadeite beads (not to say that all jadeite beads show them... but if there...good sign).

 

Any color swirls or round spots are clues for glass
An opinion solely based on color leads to a bet, and 99% of time to a deception

 

Glass for these

Those Bohemians were excellent at imitating stones and jade Peking glass, but I would guess old jade, the real deal.
You did buy it, right? So you will show us?
