SOLD Carnelian Drop-Bead Necklace This 24 inch long stunner is made from huge carnelian nugget beads and Indian chalcedony. Carnelian is actually a form of chalcedony, so the stones look beautiful together. They are accented by Indian pot-metal beads and Bali sterling silver. This is a very substantial necklace, not for the faint-of-heart! SOLD

SOLD Ethiopian Telsum Bead Necklace This necklace is handcrafted primarily from antique African trade beads. It is approximately 18 inches long and contains 1800s Venetian whiteheart trade beads from West Africa, pipestone from Ghana (also called bauxite, although some people say these are different materials~~I don’t know), red and white striped Bohemian trade beads also traded in West Africa. The center-pieces are older Telsum amulets, handmade in Ethiopia. The wire, hook, and chain are all sterling silver. This necklace is a one-of-a-kind original. SOLD

SOLD Afghani Lapis Necklace
Handmade in Afghanistan The leaf-shaped pendant is 1 inch across, 1 1/2 inches high, excluding the dangles, and is 19 inches in total length. The metal is a silver/tin alloy called "gillett." Made in Afghanistan, these necklaces were brought by stealth to Pakistan to be shipped out, avoiding the Taliban. Lapis lazuli, the deep blue stone bead, has been prized since neolithic times. It is only mined in the Badakshan district of Afghanistan. The mine entrance is up a very steep hill, and the path has leftover landmines which were dropped by Russians during the Afghan war. The Afghani miners send their bags of lapis down the hill ahead of them, to set off any unexploded mines. This necklace has incredible metalwork detail! SOLD
