| Original Message: Greenheart Aja Twins? |
|---|
|
Here's something I have not seen before - when taking apart a market strand of 6.5 mm molded disks, I found 22 beads that appear to be made from pressing two greenhearts together to form an "aja" style bead of double thickness. At least, that's what they appear to be to me. If I had found only one, I would have assumed it was a case of two beads somehow getting fused together during a heat treatment cycle. But finding this group on the same strand indicates that they were produced deliberately in quantity. Anyone else ever seen these? Also, maybe this has been discussed previously, but is there any hard information about where in Africa the aja beads were made, and when?
