[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9468932, member: 2844"]Gorgeous, Marko.:happy: The clasp could be original, they are still making faceted amber necklaces. These are facet cut, not molded, so excellent.:) Cognac going on to a reddish tone. Very likely. Heat will do that as well. Regular tlc by wiping them with olive oil will help to keep moisture out of those very fine cracks. If moisture gets in, it could lead to further cracking. Just put a drop of olive oil on your fingers, and 'massage' the beads. I use rice bran oil, as I mentioned in the thread House linked, but the Polish amber institute advises olive oil.[/QUOTE]
