<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 238507, member: 36"]It's alpaca with glass "stones". Odds are it's older though; that sort of art glass was used extensively in the 50s and early 60s to resemble turquoise. They went to plastic soon after and then quit using it. I don't think this was ever meant to be a fake, since they used art glass instead of stone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
