Thanks I need help again on age and ID of the multi-color beads, I think they are lucite..

I just wish I could find one something like it so I know how to list?

It`s rather new, Rain.  

I wouldn`t use the term lucite.   I`d use Jeweltone Acrylic Unfaceted Beads, instead.

They kinda look more of a rounded  & tapered shape (almost like drops) than jelly beans.  But perhaps thats just the angle of the photo?  

Am drawing a blank on the construction tho  (how they are put together..kinda stacked- like)  but thats not the correct name, I know.

Thanks Sarah, being newer I guess around 1980 or so ? They are all on one string and loose on the string , not attached.. the hole is drilled on the teardrop narrow end. They alternate red,purple,green,blue.. then because of the round end, they twist into what appears to be clumps ? They are simi transparent.. I said lucite because I know they are some form solid plastic.. However accrilic (sp) seems right.. not celluloid or licite..

Acrylic it is , thanks

I imagine they are loose on the string in order to give them 'movement'..kinda like cha-cha bracelets.

 You might even use that in your description..that it is similar to a cha cha.

As to the age..it is more likely from the 90`s forward..esp with that lobster clasp...so it could be more of a 'modern vintage'.  I had to use the calculator..lol  2015-1990= 25 years!  Mercy where is the time going!!!!!!!

If that is their original clasp then they look pretty new.

Use 'jewel tone' in your title, they are very pretty.
