[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4336103, member: 2844"]These are Nepali faux amber beads, similar to Moroccan faux amber beads. That twisted crochet-look thread is typical of Nepali necklaces. Moroccan Berber women make faux beads by melting plastic buckets and adding the right colour pigments. The Nepalis and Tibetans do something similar, which is why a hot needle test:arghh: smells of exactly that, plastic.;) I posted a video on the forum once, I'll see if I can find it.[/QUOTE]
