[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 192166, member: 51"]Not bakelite. I'm very familiar w/bakelite and this isn't it. Some different kind of plastic with a faint seam. I wonder if these were produced to possibly mimic spinach swirl bakelite? I believe the necklace to be vintage. I purchased it over 20 years ago at a garage sale as a vintage piece. Just moving some storage items out and wondering whether to list or donate. Any key-words for this kind of plastic? It also has swirls that mimic aventurine, a bit of glittering gold here and there in the plastic. Piece doesn't seem terribly high end, but have to say I'm a bit stumped as to what to call it to view comparables. Thanks for taking a look.
