    I see a similarity to ivory...perhaps dyed.
    Need to know more about them than simply appearance, though.
    Very nice, thanks!

    The grain is wrong for coral & in some spots does resemble ivory, although I am not convinced it is. In my experience, beads strung on cord that produces such large knots hail from China.

    Doesn't look like coral or dyed ivory. Maybe tagua nut?

    @evelyb30 I joined the bead man fb page and asked, as I don't have any tagua items to compare it with. He agrees, the beads are likely to be dyed tagua nut :)Thank you, mystery solved.
