Amber beads from broken necklace. A gift.
Things that need repair are are deemed by many to be clutter, and I tend to agree. Such things linger and provoke sighs, silently berating you for your neglect. With these beads, I do find them lovely to look at, even as I admit that they “should” be fixed and made into a lovely necklace, and perhaps a bonus bracelet. The original size would be too large for my sensibilities, retiring wallflower that I am.
Amber is by definition fossilized tree resin, so technically as a material it is obsolete:)
Status: Find jeweler who can match the original silk thread that held them together and have them fixed, gosh darn it.

Lovely light and colour in these, they look chewy! 🙂
Yes, I’d go for getting them fixed – they’d be genuinely lovely as jewellery. I favour the third shot, for its anthropomorphic comedy – they look like a slightly unsure mob. Great post.
Thanks Richard. Anthropomorphic comedy. That’s rich.
You should definitely fix them!
Yes, just gotta set a deadline or something.
That’s a beautiful picture on top. It’s got to be hard to part ways with objects that lovely.
Thanks John. Yes this is why the plan to repair rather than part. But they’ve been in the repair line for a while…
