[QUOTE="Jivvy, post: 638680, member: 8184"]Yep. I think that was once true... but I'm not even certain about that. It's all part of that "define lucite in vintage jewelry" problem... Generally, the pieces that get labeled "thermoset lucite" are opaque. The label is rubbish because lucite is thermoplastic, but I don't actually know what those pieces are. Are they some PMMA/MMA like lucite? I dunno. Is "moonglow lucite" opaque? I dunno. I don't even know if it's lucite! But I know it when I see it. :bucktooth::hilarious: Then I'm back to my "read books" recommendation. And wait for people who actually sell jewelry to respond. :hilarious:[/QUOTE]
