[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 10408056, member: 2844"]Agree, synthetic resin. The necklace was either made in the western Sahel region/West Africa or inspired by necklaces from that region. Recently made from imported beads. That orange colour looks very much like imitation amber from China, so that could be the origin of the large beads. Difficult to see, are the other beads black or coppery glass and brass? Black glass is used a lot by the Tuareg and their neighbours to the south. This style isn't Tuareg, so could be by the Fulani or others in the region. Or a non-African copy of the style.[/QUOTE]
