or on any pearlizing technics, but wanted to share these pearly shell beads that I had since long time and found only recently that these are very sought after old Tasmanian mareener shells that were strung by indigenous people. Maybe many person have them in a corner of a drawer as I've put them aside long time as they are tiny and very fragile to use in design. These are tiny at 9mm at the largest point but pretty with rainbow iridescence and very pearly.
I didn't find anythings in the forum archive about this either while it seems there were many discussions on shell beads.
Shell beads are new to me and I'm very happy to discover its beauty.
Best,
paeonia
