Description
They appear to me to be from the period of time between WWI and WWII (so approx 1920-1940) when it was very desirable for the Africans to make their jewelry for both home and export with chunky synthesized Amber & new phenolic plastics such as Bakelite, although Bakelite was invented in 1907, so these beads could potentially be from before 1920.
Necklace was tested by Bakelite test with Simichrome polish.
