    The clear square beads are bakelite/plastic? And a bit fractured INSIDE.

    Lucite, yes....much more up market but how to tell? Sold a necklace as gothic lucite once to a Saudi gent and he was stone mad about it but you take a chance eh? Thanks AJ. Do I register your silence on it's beauty as?

    I think it is cute, but we have some 'costume joolies' who can tell you much more about it. I am sure they will be along.
    I know my avatar name is any jewelry, but I came to the conclusion I fibbed about that one, I had forgotten about costume.:shame::D

    Do you think so, was it ever a fashion? Just seems such an odd pairing?

    I'm right handed, but no one has ever accused me of being right minded, so I made this one:

    Jivvy the research is my favorite

    I think the fishy was a bad choice. :meh:

    I'm not used to seeing lucite-type plastics with so many bubbles and swirls.

    Whatever they are, I do not believe all of these pieces started life together. :joyful:

    Probably my aging eyes, but I don't see any swirls, only in the rosequartz. The cubes have fractures, as Carol said. Those could be intentional?
    Very cute, Bronwen. Phoenicians eat your heart out.:playful:

    Before I joined the forum I would have been annoyed to hell trying to figure this out, put it back in the box and I don’t care now, on it will go!! Thank you all so very much for the lack of information, helped me make up my mind.:):)

    If it is lack of information you want, you've come to the right place.:pompous:

    Seriously though, it is probably a cute hobbyist piece. (That looked like the bobbyist is cute, didn't it.:confused: )
    The rosequartz beads have value, and the combination brings a smile to my face.:)

    Tough call. Doesn't look like lucite to me, but not sure it matters. :joyful:

    Just looking at the fish again, are you sure it is pewter? Thai Hill Tribe silversmiths make a lot of fish beads as well.
