    Great beads, and some very unusual. The large one in the middle looks like it has some rings all around. If it's not too much bother, could you post a close up, please?

    Great beads, deserve a skilled stringer and some coral beads to get them back alive

    A treasure chest, glowing silver ...  and many varieties. Where do they all come from?

    Thank you Betty, Alaa eddine an Thelma for your comments and am glad you like the collection. It's unfortunate that I ve been away from my collection for a few weeks now after moving to Qatar! These beads are commonly used in a few regions such as Yemen, jordan/Palestine and Central Asia as well. I love and appreciate the workmanship and skill put into making such delicate jewels. Br, Sami
