[QUOTE="TraceyB, post: 3292160, member: 17017"]Hello everyone I hope you are having a wonderful festive season :) This is another piece from my Gran's shoe boxes. I have started to read about bakelite and am wondering if these beads could in fact be bakelite. I have read that if you put them in hot water and they smell like camphor there is a good chance that they are. Is this a good test to do? I just don't want to do anything that may damage them. The necklace is 2 feet long. [ATTACH=full]298483[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]298484[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]298485[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]298486[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]298487[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
