I thought it might be Tommy Bahama but the mark on your piece has more curlicues.[ATTACH]
Lovely. The brooch is awesome.
Thanks Owned, I appreciate the input.
Thanks Owned. I think shell also but they have a shade of gray in spots so I wasn't sure.
Thanks for looking gauntlettgems. They are a bit cool to the touch and I don't see the lines or spots that indicate ivory or bone.
Thanks wlwhittier. I really have no clue. I did a search using white coral but didn't find anything to match. Thanks for the suggestion.
There are noticeable differences in both the size and the carved design over all the beads.
Thanks tie.dye.cat. They do have a slight shine that's why I think shell and not bone. They are too light for glass and I'm pretty sure they are...
The are definitely carved as no two are alike. They have areas of a grayish color. I have found similar when I search that are described as bone....
I think they are charming no matter how old or young they are. I would have bought them.
They are so pretty. I love the deep blue color.
I plan to do just that, Lark. Also am trying to find the salt and pepper that will go in the holder.
Interesting question tie.dye.cat. I just assumed they were part of the design. I am sure Bronwen will have the answer. I am glad you brought it up.
