[QUOTE="Dessert58, post: 9620179, member: 78465"]Lovely finds. I have sold some cherry amber bakelite the last few years, but I think your necklace is not the right color. It should be more dark red. Also true cherry amber bakelite has a specific 'swirl/cloud' pattern, which shows itself when you put a light behind it. But do list them on ebay and people will be able to tell for themselves. As for transparent bakelite: I have some pieces that are clear: absolutely clear green, yellow and red and even one that is almost colorless/slightly yellow transparent with just a single cloud here and there So yes, I do think its possible to find an almost clear transparent piece of bakelite.[/QUOTE]
