Dear Betty; They look to me from India/Sri Lanka but I am not very sure about it. Nevertheless, they look gorgeous! With kind regards. Peter
Thank you, Peter. They seem to be hard to identify for sure :-)
Kind regards, Betty
A great mystery, Betty. I thought they were lac beads but I see from the other photo that they seem to be hollow. Good to wear.
Yes, Thelma. They are hollow the filigreed caps are loose and held together by a pin. I got no further with my search for their origin...
