I am unsure what these beads are made of. They appear to be bakelite or a similar material. They are definitely not glass. There is a slight facet to each bead and they are hand tied between each bead. Apparently it was a necklace and it broke and my relative tied it together with a piece of ribbon. Because they are hand tied they could be worn as a sautoir and tied in the front or they could be retied together to form a long necklace with no clasp. I hesitate to call these costume jewelry because I think the necklace was handcrafted. The knots are very large and not uniform. The string is 50+ inches in length. They were always in a smoke free home.
