    hi folks

    got some pics did of the amber necklace i bought at local auction (£15)
    came in an interesting looking case as well

    do we think real amber, or copal ?

    some age, or fairly modern, smells vintage

    its a good chunky size

    what colour amber, cognac ?

    not sure if the case is original to the necklace

    any thoughts appreciated

    Baltic amber chips, they look pressed as well. Cognac is fine.:hungry:
    The fancy case wouldn't be original, chip necklaces are on the cheaper end. Besides, there are indications that the original 'inhabitant' was something very different.

    Pretty generic I think. It is a good case, but what for.....

    god knows Aj, theres 2 slots in the bottom felt bridge, one straight and one at an angle
    then one hole shaped slot in the top felt bridge with a brass swing clip to secure

    Thanks ksw, I'm kinda happy it being low end Amber, as I might as well just keep it and wear it ;););)
    ;) ( as I have been doing, even though my nieces and nephews have low and grabbing fingers :))

    I sold a very similar one on eBay recently for £25. It was just before Christmas so not an ideal time to sell but gives you an idea.

    Yeah I'd rather keep it for that much, but gathered around that price

    I found sales ok before Christmas, but at the moment on ebay, there's tumbleweeds rolling by

    January never great after Christmas expenditure though, I can feel the sting of Christmas spending as well :)

    My theoretica SO would get off cheap in that regard. Too many scent allergies at church and I don't go anywhere else nice to wear perfume.
