Inherited this necklace/broach. Could it be bone or just plastic? Fairly light weight, and about 2.5 inches in height.
I love it but concerned about care of it if it is something other than plastic. Regardless I’m sure only a cord when worn as a necklace? I don’t think I would put a clasp back on it.
There, added photos! There is texture to the piece, and ‘striations’ on the back. If it is plastic its well done to look like bone or something.
Any opinions would be welcome! Thanks.
I’m afraid to do the hot pin test. Would a jeweller do that? I’m a newbie, can’t you tell? I’m attempting a couple more pics of the back. Hard to take good ones with cell phone…hopefully one of these works for you. If it’s bone is there any special care for it?
I keep it in a Lladro Collectors Society key case…that’s how it came from my relative.
