Mr. Bond,

Some beads on this strand were, based on the over sized and very smooth perforation, worn as hair ornaments while others don't have the right shape for this......that is, to be pulled tightly against the scalp.

If I had my calipers with me I would give you exact measurements but I do not, so I will give you a range in inches.....the smallest amber bead on the strand is .5" in diameter. The largest bead is 1.5" in diameter. The beads closest to the knot are stone.

The very long strand shown in the third image is made up of three different strands I purchased over the last 5 years. They all came from African traders as "market strands". There are varying degrees of color and textures and depth in color.

Your price estimation is close, or was close, 5 years ago for the smaller strand shown. Or I should say, the higher side of your price estimate.

Stay cool, Bond.

Later

Carl
