Hi,
Thanks for the reference shots.
I havent come accross these yet in Morocco, In fact the only chinese beads I have seen so far are the seed beads. These are selling for around £1.80 per 500g bag( Depends size / colour). I have sent a handful of the small chinese chevrons (drilled) as a gift to a jewellery maker from the south, and asked him if they are available to him as yet, I shall let you know! There are plenty of Indian glass, some quite well made , others terrible! these are sold for around £5 per 1 kilo box for the best quality omes, £2 per 1 kilo box for the really nasty ones! I have added a picture of some beads which are sold as Saharan Amber These were sourced In Marrakech. All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users |
