The clasp has tested for sterling silver, and there’s bits of black matrix in the beads, which are cold when held to my forehead. I broke open one small bead before re-stringing it, and it was blue inside.
The color is also uneven. Great color to these, but I didn’t pay much so I won’t be heartbroken if not worth much.
The color is even more vibrant than my photos. I don’t know if anyone else has this problem, but my camera has a tough time accurately reproducing turquoise.
