Hand Carved Celluloid Bakelite ?  Earrings

Plastic off white color hand carved bead dangles down from a gold tone chain. Ear wires show no signs as to them being gold with any markings. These were an estate sale purchase and was told that they might be celluloid or bakelite. The bead measures about 1/2 inch across. I am no jewelry expert, but I try to describe these jewelry pieces as best I can for you.
