Hmmmm. I asked my guide to confirm for me that the photo I showed here is indeed Andy Setyawan. She tells me this is another person--so I have to double-check that now. In the meantime, here are some beads that I did buy from Andy Setyawan, that include Indo-Pacific copies, combed lampwork beads, a strand of yellow "French cross" beads (as some American collectors say), and other lampwork beads. The second photo shows a structured necklace, featuring a beautiful combed bead in the center, flanked above by two large fusiform beads that were inspired by Kiffa beads from Mauritania (though made very differently). Andy is one of the beadmakers who creates copies of Kiffa beads—many of which are remarkably small—that have been marketed in the UK and US in recent years. Although they are lampworked, their similarity to Kiffa beads, at the eye-level of viewing, can be impressive. JDA. All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users |
