Does anyone know the origin of these enamel beads? Thanks..
Thanks Akkie. They are very beautiful indeed!
Lovely beads, is it a necklace?
Marie, I strung them temporarily so that I could wear them! Still looking for the perfect project for them...
I have a strand of these beads as well they are so beautiful and I love you are wearing them!!
Wow! Yes, those are the same beads! Yours is a magnificent strand! Where did you acquire yours? and do you agree that they are Multan from Pakistan?
Yes the beads are from Pakistan Multan!
This type of Multan enamel bead has always interested me. They look so new and I don`t think the design, which I love, is a traditional one.
I have never seen any information that would indicate that this type of Multan enamel is still produced as is the flatter, duller and lapis-looking type.
I would love to hear of more information on this.
You might consider a project using lapis lazuli. A good quality lapis will bring out the blue of your beautiful beads. I have never seen a whole strand of these before. They are really lovely.
