Original Message:   Different examples

The first strand I purchased about 7 years ago from the Bedouin in Beersheva Israel.I had learned from friends there that the beads came up through the Sudan and were agates. I coincidentally picked up the 2nd strand last week in Tel Aviv at the flea market. Here the white banding is in the middle.These I believe are glass copies of the original agate beads. Russ, the granulated silver beads are typical Yemenite work. These beads are called "berries". Paula Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
