Can someone tell me what these beads are? I’m stumped.

Hello my people! I’m a recovering jewelry hoarder and I fell off the wagon…more like I threw myself off and rolled to the Goodwill. I found these awesome butternut squash colored beads being sold as Bakelite (yep, my Goodwill found Ebay and now tests their jewelry to price it accordingly). Against my better judgement, I got them although in the hand, they felt lighter than I expected. They're warm to the touch and the rub test (which I’m pretty good at) gave me a faint sweet smell and not the usual dead lab frog odor I’m used to. Here’s what I’ve done so far…
Hot water test- faint sweet smell, gone quickly
Touch- smooth when dry, slightly tacky when heated
UV- I’m terrible at distinguishing glow but I’d inert, def not glowing like my uranium glass.
Baking soda- dark Orange hinting towards red
Simi test- very dark Orange almost brown
Sound- more like marbles knocking together with a midrange clickish clunk than the ting you get with jade bangles.
Salt water- didn’t float but I may not have had enough salt.
No seams but two beads have some kind of line impression that’s only on one side and doesn’t go end to end, so maybe improper storage in heat? Def looks rod cut with marbled swirl through the bead. I’ll upload the photos but forgive the quality please. My MS is in a flair and my hands have decided to go on vacation without me.
Any help is appreciated. I’m trying to get my collection cataloged for my adult children so it doesn’t all end up back at the Goodwill someday!

most folks here will not click on links from members we do not yet know..

 

I’ll try. I’m using an iPad and it takes massive photos so I kept getting a size error when I tried posting them. Thanks for the heads up!

Hello, and welcome to the forum!
I know there are better ways but I always mail my pictures to myself, thzt way you can choose the size.
As for your necklace: in my opinion if it looks bakelite and the simichrome test turned yellow/brown its bakelite.
Some pieces have more of an odour than others.

 

I can never smell it.

 

My commiserations.
Looks like an Art Deco bakelite necklace to me. Great find.

 

Hi @Geemah and WELCOME!! I'm getting the first 8 up full size, maybe someone else can post the last 5....DH is looking to be FED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And sorry, my post messed up at the end....don't know why!!!​

 

I'd be thinking bakelite too on seeing them, or else one of the acrylics.

 

Interesting that only two seem to have rounded ends, the other's are rather squared off... pretty!
