Original Message:   From Thailand

These Indo-Pacific beads were bought in Thailand. They may have been made there or in Vietnam (not too far away). These strands demonstrate the typical range of colors. The strand in the middle consists of Ban Chiang beads. These are opaque orange disks. Their manufacture is not entirely clear, in part because they have been milled or cut to be regular cylindrical disks. The interior is swirly. These are often mistaken for "ceramic" beads.
