A vintage butterscotch amber bead necklace, the graduated oval beads of opaque amber from 11-17mm long, slightly variable in colour, to an oval box clasp set with a cabochon amber; length 48cm (needs re-stringing), gross weight 26.5g Identification as amber:- The material is both very light and soft - therefore neither hardstone nor glass. The consistency of the material is swirled but certainly not with individual chips - so not polybern (amber chips in resin). The beads are graduated in size, but not entirely uniform in shape, nor in colour, so unlikely to have been of mass-produced manufacture. There are no mould lines or machined lines, so not of machined or cast manufacture. The surface of the beads has light wear, minor scratches and dirt, some have age-related surface crazing and one has a conchoidal chip - all consistent with amber. The beads are strung and have a clasp attached so it has not been possible to see if they float in a salt water solution; nor have destructive tests (hot pin, burning a fragment to identify the smell) been attempted; but the taste test (on a cleaned bead, cleaned again afterwards) gave a pleasant taste consistent with amber, not the chemical taste of plastics. Remote refractive index test suggests RI between 1.52 and 1.56. All observations lead to the conclusion of genuine amber.
