[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 2392879, member: 2844"]Welcome [USER=15718]@Robyn Harrison[/USER] . Could you start a new thread and show us photos of the necklaces please?:) Many of us love amber, and sometimes you can tell if it is natural amber just by looking at it. No guarantees though, but we can always say what the right way of testing is for your necklaces. Are the beads light weight and warmish to the touch? Sounds like your necklaces have quiteb some metal findings, which means the salt water test may not work. If there is more metal than just a clasp, the metal could weigh it down. True, and so will polystyrene. Copal is a 'young' stage of amber. Amber can fluoresce in a variety of colours. The colour of the fluorescence depends on the colour of the amber.[/QUOTE]
