I saved links to a couple of great articles about Tibetan festivals and beads worn there. The links appear to be inactive. Are they still available? I remember seeing large amber beads similar to beads worn by the women of Burkina Faso and Mali.

Big time, when we were down for 2 weeks and almost "died"...David had to regenerate the site onto a whole different isp - not every single thing survived exactly the same way, so some of the old url's will not be the same as they were pre-hack. Also, some images did not survive the transfer. Particularly those that do not have unique names. We talked about that at the time. For example, guess how many image files on the site may be titled mille1.....it's always good to throw in your initials in the file name of an image - date (without slash) is helpful also to your own record keeping....example...say today I might post a black coral bead image.....jhbkcor617.jpg That's just an example of a way to define my black coral bead image from other ones on the site...it has my initials, an abbreviation of the subject matter that I can decifer, and the month and year.....Sorry to get off on a tangent!

Anyway, a new search using google Tibetan Festival beads, site beadcollector.net, yields a nice pile of posts and images....

Thank you Joyce. I remember seeing some big amber beads worn on a woman's head. I don't see that photo today, but there are some big beads on belts.

Coral comes as large as that? Some of the beads are huge.

How do we do domain name searches?... under 'settings' in google, 'advanced'. Put beadcollector.net in the domain field partway down the list, then your search words... I just figured it out.

My entire message got lost.

(sigh)

I think I said I'm just a "pretty beads" person on this forum, but that I have mentioned the BCN to so many studio visitors in the last few years. That the best online resource to learning about ancient and collectible beads was started by two people in Petaluma, and that one of the foremost authorities on ancient and collectible beads lives right here in Santa Rosa.

I am so grateful for this community, for information, sharing, beautiful images, and just plain enjoyment of great beads.

I think that's what I said. :^D

"Mosaic Coral" is made from large coral beads with large cavities. The better ones have been artfully repaired. They are as large as 1 & 1/4th inch in diameter. I'm afraid to wear them because the glue is old and the inlays may pop out.

I may be mistaken, but I feel the ladies in the photos are wearing a combination of plastic and real coral. Because the weight would be unbearable. Also because of the weight, I believe they would hang differently.
