Faux Amber String

Photo for Faux Amber String

String of 71 faux amber beads, probably from Morocco.

This beautiful string of beads is not true amber, which is an ancient, fossilised tree resin - very rare and very expensive.

These beads are called faux amber, a synthetic imitation of true amber made of bakelite or similar. Invented in 1907, bakelite was the world's first commercial synthetic plastic - technically described as a 'thermosettingphenol formaldehyde resin'.

Bead diameter ranges from 1.5 to 4.5 cm, approximately.

Approximate string length: 130 cm
