[QUOTE="Simona Buhus, post: 4333500, member: 17467"]Hello everyone, I have purchased the earrings attached, sold as tortoise shell earrings, gold and silver engraved, gold hooks, but when I tested them with a hot niddle it felt like plastic, the niddle made a hole and it smells like plastic, not burned hair. They also have a line on the sides like they have been casted. I have attached a photo of weight and size, they are light for their size. Is it possible to be plastic? I have tested them with simicrome, but no brown color came out. I am a bit confused, so, I am wondering what are your thoughts? Please tag others that may know about this. Thank you.
