Hi all.

Just been browsing ebay and found some of the largest beads I have ever seen!!!

I've attached a link below but the seller appears to have many. Just want to know there origins and what they might be worth so I don't bid too much. They look really nice and I've got a use for them but just wanted a second opinion.

Hope someone can help

Regards
