<p>[QUOTE="RachelW, post: 4290566, member: 15376"]<p style="text-align: center">Hello all! I'm posting today to get a consensus on this necklace I picked up yesterday. I bought it because I've never seen plastic like this before, it almost has a crumpled foil look to it. I tried to determine what kind of plastic it is but I'm unfamiliar with it so I thought perhaps this forum would have a better inkling then I! </p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">It wieghs 39.71 grams and measures 57cm (22'') from end to end. The color is true to the pictures, an icy or light sky blue. The beads are a little transluscent, not hollow and in perfect condition as far as I can tell, with no cracks or scratches. Are they molded? They are most definitely plastic, they're light weight and room temperature, with a typical plastic sound when clinked together. My amateur research on barrel clasps points to this not being modern but I'm not sure. No marks or anything. The inside of the clasp and some spots on the chain have some grey blue patina like that found on copper.</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">What kind of plastic is this and does this technique have a name? And what sort of date can we put on it? It might be helpful to mention that I am in rural France so this is most definitely European.</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">Thanks for reading I appreciate it! </p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]345373[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]345374[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]345375[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]345376[/ATTACH] </p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
