Featured huge white bead necklace

hi folks

something else i found today in a charity shop, cant quite decide what its made from

doesnt feel or look like plastic, but suppose could be, (no seams)
doesnt have any grain or black bone flecks

one has a slight crack or split

bright white under uv

any thoughts appreciated

 

No clasp?

Larger beads could be tagua nut.

 

Hi deb, yeah no clasp, just lots more spacers

It's to the belt long

 

Hi bronwen, great thought thanks

They do look quite similar

 

Concur for tagua but, aka vegetable ivory
Nice one!

 

Thanks kyra, I take it that they must be stabilized or something as they are velly hard

 

Tagua nut IS very hard once dried, very similar to ivory, not comparable to macadamia!

 

Nom

 

Tagua, like other organic materials such as elephant ivory, antler & Celluloid, soaks up UV & looks bright, rather than reflecting it back & looking purple, as the smaller beads are doing.

 

I only wish I had known that earlier

They ARE much harder than macadamia nuts !!

 

when i said belt, i meant belly

 

I don't see a belly !!

& u ain't seeing mine....

 

Didn't realize I had such big breasts !!

Think I might need a bra soon

 

I have no clue what they are, but I like them.
Thanks for the funny photo, made me laugh.

 

Making you laugh, makes me happy pearls

 

The length is 1970s. Or 1920s.

You actually are carrying those off,Charlie ! Love the ring too.

 

I think we should call that belt length. Stars with a b like belly but a bit more couth.
