    Hello

    I bought this necklace purely out of curiosity. What are these black & white beads?

    They look a bit like millefiori glass cane beads but they feel soft, almost rubbery to touch. Is there a name for them?

    Length of the beads are around 2.5cm-3cm.

    thanks

    Made with polymer clay, I suspect.

    Yep. "friendly plastic" craft beads. The fish look like Mexican black clay beads. The polymer ones air cure and are relatively easy to make.
