Is this bracelet made from amber?

    Hi,

    I have this bracelet and I just wondered your thoughts on if it is amber? I have taken a photo of it under a UV light and I am seeing differences in how the different coloured stones are reacting, so I wondered if that was normal for different types of amber? The findings are stamped 925. TIA.

    Doesn't look right from here for amber unfortunetly

    I think imitation resin/pastic

    It could be resin with specks of amber.

    Thanks everyone for the replies. Resin with perhaps some amber flecks sounds like a good shout as I couldn't figure out why it was sort of reacting to uv on some and then not on others!! :)

    I'm always dubious when I see those 3 same different colour amber beads

    Usually a sign that they are not

    Or they are treated.
    Amber is always best in as natural a state as possible.

    I've got tricolour pieces. Some are all amber, some have beads which are composite. This one looks a mix of composite and plastic.

    Thank you everyone, composite seems like it could be a good shout, as although it would seem there is some reaction to UV, based on what I have read perhaps not at the levels I would expect to find if it was pure amber!:shame: Thanks everyone.
