    Those yellow ones look more like carved stone than glass.

    Very nice but not Neiger, I'd say. And the big ones look stone.

    Be careful @FlameEmber , there are many pieces of jewellery out there on eBay etc with sellers claiming they are Neiger when they are not, often deliberate copies being marketed for large sums of money.
    There are two Neiger groups on Facebook, one US and one UK that have very knowledgeable people on them and files of ‘what to look for’. I think they originally were one group and split after a spat between members. Join both and go through all the photos. No where near as much fun as this forum as you have to be on your best behaviour but very useful for gaining knowledge of the elements that make a piece of jewellery more likely to be Neiger.

    Thank you both KSW and Ownedbybear

    I have located the groups on facebook and asked to join.
    I was trying to find more examples of Neiger online and came across these examples. I dont know if they are genuine - and like you said could easily be faked.
    To me the white looks most authentic

    The only one of those I'm a bit dubious on is that dark green. I love the light blue.

    Thank you OwnedbyBear, you and everyone else has taught me so much about Neiger in just 2 days!
    Would you say the light blue is oringal 1920s Neiger?

    If so I may buy it, it is my favorite colour too :)

    I think it has a good chance of it. I just love the colour. How much are they asking?

    Hm. I think that's a fair bit, but if you like it and will wear it, why not!

    Maybe someone here or on the FB Neiger page could clarify, but is Neiger sometimes "deliberately faked"? Might be, I really don't know, just asking! I thought it was more that some pieces were incorrectly attributed. Learning here, too.

    That is what I thought too.

    Following those Neiger pages there do seem to be some that are deliberate fakes sadly. They sometimes show them and explain why they aren’t likely to be genuine. With the large prices they command, I suppose it’s not surprising some fakers jumped on the bandwagon :-(
    It’s put me off buying most of them even if cheap. I think it’s mainly the showpiece type pendants rather than the beads.

    Apparently it’s mostly obvious from the badly fitting cabs.
    When these were made is another question as to if they were contemporary with Neiger and copied their designs or have been created since.
