A strand of old agate beads in a gradient of colors from translucent white to soft gray and in a three sided oval of shape.These are hand carved and drilled from India 1960s-1970s. These beads are from India and were called Beggar Beads. In the 1960s and 1970s they were available in strands of many shapes, sizes and colors. Six beads in 6.5 inch strand with glass spacer beads. You will get the exact strand pictured.
I really like the matrices in Hubei turquoise and these don't disappoint. The range of colors is really nice. I have combined these beads with shell heishi (also available from Earthly Adornments), silver and carnelian, the result is stunning (friend's opinion). Next project will be with citrine and brass. They are very versatile.
This is the second or third time I have purchased this bead. It is very unique and works well with lots of colors and styles. I made a bracelet last month with several of these beads in it. I did not even get a chance to list the bracelet, someone bought it off my arm (I test drive my pieces).
I highly recommend it as I do working with Earthly Adornments - they are professional, very helpful and knowledgeable. They have an excellent supply of vintage and antique beads.
