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.
The bottom is shiny as well. In fact that is what had me wondering, I can feel the ‘striations’ and see some discoloration at the edges of what seem like cracks. But yet it seems “plastic like”. Thank you for the black light tip, I’ll try that.
Also do you think it’s worth getting an appraisal? I took it by a local jeweler, who didn’t know what it was, but offered to buy it… No thanks says I. I love it. Its very unique I think. At least in my tiny world, lol.
