<p>[QUOTE=&quot;evelyb30, post: 13140552, member: 36&quot;]I was sick all Summer too, but fortunately/unfortunately sales die dead here in July and August.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The necklace looks like prystal - the clear version of bakelite.&nbsp; It&#039;s red, so may not react to much of anything.&nbsp; Red&#039;s a crapshoot like that. I can&#039;t say about simichrome, but I&#039;ve used the baking soda test on prystal and it worked.&nbsp; The barrel clasp on yours is pure 1930s, if that helps. Another easy clue&nbsp; - if the facets don&#039;t match perfectly from bead to bead, the odds for bakelite go up.&nbsp; I&#039;ve never seen amber faceted, but have more than one string of the bakelite beads and they all are.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
