[QUOTE="IvaPan, post: 5005198, member: 78949"]Thank you, Any Jewelry, much obliged! Your eye is expert's eye. The coral also looked to me quite genuine but as I have little knowledge, I assume that there is high probability that I am wrong. Tried the acetone test, no color transferred. They are indeed lovely, I snatched it today very quickly, without much looking, and now the more I look, the more I like the necklace. An unusual item anyway. About the amber beads, imo they are too heavy for the size to be genuine amber but I will test them with UV as soon as I have the flashlight. They are not the same, though, one of them is of lighter color than the other (can't be seen on the photos) May be it is a sign of autheticity. And also the one I photoed has a little dent - it can be seen. No, they are not static, tried. No flashlight yet, I am trying to find around but if I fail, I will order online. I have a lot of work these days and cannot focus on this. No rush anyway, I just pile the items waiting for UV test and will do them altogether. And will post here the results. Thank you again! P.S. the corals are about 2 cm, and the amber beads - about 3 cm[/QUOTE]
