<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 363905, member: 2844&quot;]They look like egg yolk amber bakelite, so bakelite made to look like amber. Highly collectible. Here is a test for amber and amber lookalikes, please <u>don&#039;t</u> use a hot needle test:</p><p><a href="http://ethnicjewelsmagazine.com/the-identification-of-amber-and-its-copies/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://ethnicjewelsmagazine.com/the-identification-of-amber-and-its-copies/" rel="nofollow">http://ethnicjewelsmagazine.com/the-identification-of-amber-and-its-copies/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is an egg yolk amber bakelite necklace with a rather ambitious price tag imo, but they are pricey:</p><p><a href="https://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/SoVintageous/12227159/vintage_art_deco_egg_yolk_amber_bakelite_beaded_necklace_tested_116g/vintage/jewelry/necklaces" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/SoVintageous/12227159/vintage_art_deco_egg_yolk_amber_bakelite_beaded_necklace_tested_116g/vintage/jewelry/necklaces" rel="nofollow">https://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/SoVintageous/12227159/vintage_art_deco_egg_yolk_amber_bakelite_beaded_necklace_tested_116g/vintage/jewelry/necklaces</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Others know more about fashion jewellery and can date them, my guess would be 30s for the bakelite amber one. I won&#039;t ask you for the exact length, but would you say it is longer or shorter than average?</p><p>It is lovely, btw.</p><p><br /></p><p>The clasp of the second one certainly looks like gold or goldplated, possibly goldfilled. There doesn&#039;t seem to be any other metal showing through, even though the necklace has clearly been worn for some time.</p><p>When you open the spring clasp, do you see any wear, or is it all gold?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
