[QUOTE="Eils14, post: 9498289, member: 14776"]Hi everyone, I picked up a bag of earrings at a local antiques centre and they had these earrings in them. I gave the yellow beads a rub and noticed the bakelite smell from them, so I think that is what they are probably made from. I wouldn't have thought looking at these earrings that they were very old, so I wondered if anyone had any thoughts on this; are the earrings older than I think or modern using old beads? I am also wondering where they may be from, as I think I saw once on here about prayer beads being made from bakelite beads (which is why I actually thought to even check them, so thanks whoever posted that), so it makes me wonder the origins of these earrings due to how they look. TIA for any help you can give. [ATTACH=full]448202[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]448203[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]448204[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]448205[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
