[QUOTE="KSW, post: 953486, member: 8708"]Idly perusing a local auctioneers listings (never a good idea!)these were listed simply as ‘Chunky Bracelet’ with a totally out of focus tiny photo. I took a wild leap of faith that it might be amber just by the colour and put a blind bid on of £20 (£25 with fees) Won them and collected today and they are indeed Amber. Phew. The necklace is very substantial and the bracelet is indeed chunky!.Thats a £1 coin for scale. My question is how do I know about quality or origin?. I see Amber selling at wildly different prices so what makes the difference? The bracelet is badly strung too tight on nasty green elastic - I think I’ve got some amber beads I could use as spacers as it’s child’s size at the moment? What do you think? Thankyou :-) [ATTACH=full]203852[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]203853[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]203854[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]203856[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]203857[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]203858[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
