[QUOTE="quirkygirl, post: 93398, member: 106"]The discussion on kard's thread about his amber necklace prompted me to dig my own amber bead necklace out. It was first shown on eBay's jewelry board over a year ago back when I wasn't sure of what I had found. It has since been taken to the local lapidary where he confirmed that they are true old, hand made, amber beads. There is crackling on the surface of every bead - some worse than others ... possibly caused by the age of the beads or from perfume / lotion transferred from the previous owner ... or a combination of both. Most beads have 'something' inside ... several clearly have insects. 46" long ... beads vary but average 10mm X 12mm in size - drilled through their shorter diameter. I'm not asking questions (for a change ;) ) But didn't want to hijack kard's thread ... and others also mentioned their own amber ... maybe this could be a "show us your amber" thread [ATTACH=full]23652[/ATTACH] one or two winged bugs [ATTACH=full]23651[/ATTACH] spider legs????
