By coated I mean completely encased, prone to chipping, etc. I think that plastic in particular does not hold coating well over time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes you see necklaces with coated beads here and there, maybe mixed in with glass, etc., those can still have a bit of value if the coating is strong and not chipping and/or it is from a maker that is collected.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are also coated faux pearls --glass coated to look like pearls. Or glass with AB (Aurora Borealis) I don't think anything precious like real amber would be coated.</p><p><br /></p><p>But again, maybe I have missed something out there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
