So, what do you think about the coral, amber, dzi and everything? Authentic, imitation, new, antique etc? My opinion is that coral is new, undyed, luxury type that is available in Tibet nowadays. I don't have any knowledge about where the origin is, but people here have made various suggestions Amber I don't really know anything about Dzi beads.... for starters surely there are too many for them to be antiques. Also they look smooth and so I guess new reproductions? (However, I have got photos from this festival of what do look some antiques in people's costumes. Will post later) And gold/silver I believe is genuine and not plated. I saw some of the belts and other accessories for sale online (sold through somebody's blog). They were tens of thousands of dollars for a belt that was 70% silver and the rest gold.
