Do these look familiar to anyone? The seller calls them plastic. What do you think?

I was getting anxious fearing I would lose them so I bought them. I sure hope you think they are old glass. If not, I have an hour during which I can cancel.

Hi Birdi
They look more like polymer clay beads to me than glass.

It is always hard to tell from pictures but that would be my guess.

The seller is experienced selling jewelry so he is probably right. I can always return it on my dime so I'm not worried. I paid almost $100. Wish I knew enough to have been certain from the start.

If I saw a fingerprint I would know it to be polymer clay, but I'm still unsure. I thought I saw some popped bubbles consistent with glass... just not enough details to be sure.
