<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joan, post: 609859, member: 5398&quot;]Now I&#039;m confused about faceted amber beads always being facet-cut, not pressed.&nbsp; The necklace shown below is the one I tested using the leftover bead, which floated in salt water, so I assumed it&#039;s real amber, but the beads look like they have pressed facets.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]179334[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]179335[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I also have another faceted &quot;cherry amber&quot; bead necklace, which was represented as real amber. The facets don&#039;t look exactly uniform, so I&#039;m wondering if this one is real amber with cut facets, and if so, was it dyed since a Q-tip with Simichrome rubbed on a bead turns reddish.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]179336[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]179337[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
