Is this Mod necklace Moonglow Lucite... or just plastic?

[Jen S]

OK, I know very little about jewelry, but I got this very cool beaded necklace and it looks similar to pics I've seen of moonglow lucite. Anyone have any idea from looking at it if it's that, or some other kind of plastic? Thank you!

your beads appear to be plastic (to me), let's see what our jewelry specialists have to say.

for reference sake? here is a good image of some dark blue moonglow beads:

I agree - the look like plastic to me, too.

Great, thank you both for your expertise!

Jen, your beads are so interesting! They do look like plastic and the indent that goes all the way round the beads creates a rather unique appearance. I really like them!

 

[Jen S]

Thanks! I like them too but they are huge and I've never managed to figure out how to wear them. They're very mod.

I love huge beads.....you will figurine out some great way to wear them, I just know it!

Each blue bead is about 3/4" in diameter and the whole necklace is 46" long!
