[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 12077312, member: 2844"]Thanks, that gives a much better impression. Indeed butterscotch and cognac. It looks like Baltic amber to me, period probably from 1970 - 1990. The period is not very distinct or important for these pebble necklaces. Yes a lot of Baltic amber was exported from the USSR to Western Europe and probably also to the US. The USSR needed so-called hard currencies from Western countries. But other Baltic countries also exported these pebble necklaces, my mother had one from Denmark.[/QUOTE]
