<p>[QUOTE=&quot;evelyb30, post: 10325906, member: 36&quot;]OK.&nbsp; I took some photos. The dark red beads missing their clasp are bakelite. I think they&#039;re supposed to look like opaque cherry amber. The ivory bracelet really is ivory. I need to restring it and figure out if I have some black glass paint around. It ought to work as a replacement for whaever the black stuff was.&nbsp; The four strings of amber really are amber. I think the black and tan (mostly) are sardonyx with some sort of dye added. The blue ones look like chrysoprase.&nbsp; The black beads are onyx with pearls and gold-filled beads, but the dyed lapis has 14k on it. Bracelet too.&nbsp; There&#039;s a little bit of sterling.&nbsp; She said she took all of the gold to a local jewelry store, but she missed a 4g 14k/585 foxtail chain.&nbsp; Whoops. </p><p><br /></p><p>The amber, btw, was $4 for all FIVE strands. The opaque ones need restringing desperately.&nbsp; The purple &quot;jade&quot; doesn&#039;t seem to be precious metal and most likely isn&#039;t jade either.&nbsp;&nbsp; The amber pin is one I already had, but it snuck into the pictures. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is the jewelry haul I&#039;ve been waiting for since last May.&nbsp; FINALLY !</p><p>[ATTACH=full]519144[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]519145[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]519146[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
