Are these bone or better than? They look old

I got this at an estate with a few pieces of better then. I can’t find the crosshatching or schreger on these. They are approx 2” long and have no clasp. They appear to have some decent age to them and lots of color change which occurs over time with the better than stuff

Opinions, please. Age, origin, material, etc.

Thank you

 

That's a tricky one (how helpful is that)

The way some of them are scuffed up and pitted , I'd lean more towards bone

 

I'd suggest , horn..

 

That’s what made me think bone as well. They do look old Wonder what they were for

 

Really? No translucency. Hmm. What kinda horn?

 

What's 2 inches long by the way ?

 

You mean 2 ft ?

 

Would think it's just a long doubling necklace if 2ft

 

on 2nd somber reflection...I'm now seeing bone structure..

 

Oh, yes. Lol 2’ not “ very long @charlie cheswick

 

Vegetable ivory?

 

Hadn’t thought of that! I’ll look it up. Thank you

 

Here are some tagua beads...

 

Ok, those look similar for sure
