<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 262929, member: 36"]Check the rings for bakelite, just in case. A q-tip, wet, and dunked in baking soda will do the job. Rub on one of the rings and hold it close to your nose at about the same time. Sniff. The q-tip should turn yellow or brown and you should smell formaldehyde. The color change can be faked out by tobacco smoke, but the smell is the smell. I agree that the clasp came off something else. It's 20 years later than the necklace.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
