The first set includes some round beads and assorted nugget shapes in clear and translucent oranges and browns. The warm glow is irresistible! To go along with these, I have a handful of amber colored coin beads. They have an interesting vintage appeal - I think they would look fantastic paired with micro-macramé.
These beads are definitely not the real thing - most acrylic beads can be spotted by the minute seams left by molds and presses, if not by their weight and feel. Did you know that genuine amber is one of the easiest stones to appraise? Warming a piece in your hands will produce a very faint odor like pine resin - the source of this beautiful stone.
