    DSCN4182.JPG DSCN4183.JPG DSCN4180.JPG This bracelet has the feel of plastic, but looks like something more organic than plastic - maybe some kind of horn?

    There's a small spot on the edge of the bracelet where it looks like a bit has chipped away on the inside, and it's slightly rougher than the rest of the bracelet. I have had a hard time showing it clearly in picture.

    I'm with the others. A fancy name would be faux horn;).

    Yup, plastic - it's a clouded kind.

    The blending of the colors is suggestive of a two part mix like Bakelite

    On closer inspection @Hollyblue, there are air bubbles. Missed that before cause it's only in a couple of spots.

    Thanks everyone. I didn't think that it really edlike any horn I've seen, but it didn't quite seem like plastic either when I first looked at it.
