[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 219334, member: 2844"]Faturan was a German brand of formaldehyde resin. It was produced from ca. 1900 til WWII. It is often thought to be a traditional Middle Eastern mix of real amber and other 'stuff'. There may be something like that around, but Faturan was a brand name, so should only refer to that particular formaldehyde resin. It is still very popular in the Middle East and with collectors of ethnic jewellery, just like amber bakelite. By the way, your necklaces look Yemeni.[/QUOTE]
