Los Angeles-based Billy Steinberg is one of the world’s most successful songwriters of the last 35 years.  Madonna’s Like a Virgin, Cyndi Lauper’s True Colors, Whitney Houston’s So Emotional, The Bangles’ Eternal Flame and Demi Lovato’s Give your Heart a Break are among his huge hits.  But Billy is also a collector.

 

Billy started collecting beads in 1989. He has  a varied collection that includes ancient stone beads, Roman and Phoenician Period glass beads, Venetian trade beads, Edo-period glass ojime, and Chinese Boshan beads.

 

Billy also published a book focussed on his world class collection of powder glass beads.
