Yellow Phenolic Resin Beads Morocco 36 Inch

Phenolic resin beads, formed through the reaction of phenol and formaldehyde, are created by shaping liquid resin into small spheres that solidify. These beads, used in necklaces, exhibit diverse sizes, colors, and shapes, including solid hues or intricate patterns. Smooth, faceted, or matte finishes enhance the visual appeal. Valued for their distinctive look and durability, phenolic resin beads offer a lightweight, comfortable feel and resist wear and tear, making them suitable for everyday wear. Their versatility allows for various necklace styles, often incorporating other materials like metal or fabric for different textures. Available in lengths ranging from choker-style to layered designs, phenolic resin beaded necklaces provide a broad spectrum of fashionable options.

"Folk" name-amber. Beads sold as "amber" by traders include beads made of amber, copol, resins binding powdered amber or copol, resins, and plastics. Some of the oldest pieces, showing wear on the sides from many years of wear, are not amber. Superb ethnic jewelry, including pieces from China, Tibet, Ethiopia, Somalia, and Mali, among others, are made from these "amberoids." I don't know the chemical makeup of these beads, and do not want to be misleading...so will say they are "described as amber."

This strand is not intended to be a ready-to-wear necklace. Although the strand can be worn "as is," the string holding it together is not durable and may break with use. For this reason, we recommend that you restring the beads before wearing them.
