1940s necklace, looks like rose shapes - the lady I bought it off was not sure if it was ivory. are there ways to tell? it is quite small so for a slim neck or even a child. several beads closer to the clasp as slightly discoloured I guess from perspiration. I'm not willing to put a flame to it or would ruin the necklace.
she also had amber necklace which she wasn't sure if it was amber... again I had no idea how to identify. any hints on either please?
I have attached a photo of the possible ivory. If not ivory I wonder what is made of faux ivory?
thanks

yes of course the soot came off!
yes the detailing is the same.
quite little - slim necks in those days, a choker on mine!
thanks again

You should also check eBay completeted listings "faux ivory flower necklace" "bone rose necklace" and variations for many similar. They sell (or don't sell) for a variety of prices. Sadly none of the "sold" prices seem to be approaching that of the Ruby Lane item.
