  • wonderful necklace, pity about the chipping. (Interesting, never seen this before)

  • Many thanks, Eva.

    Actually, I often like to see a chip in an amber bead. It helps me to identify it as amber.

  • ok, I just learn....   !  Great to know. thanks for the info!

  • looks amber to me, marocan / china is not  :-)  it is from the Balcan as you know

    the shape and colors look more african, the china prefer as already mentioned lighter ones and more direction round shape ( has to be thick )
