    Very nice. I particulalry like how worn they are. That makes them even more attractive.

    It's true. Some of these beads are from the 1600s others from the 1900s. But altogether, even those with some dents, are really charming.

    Khmer beads, wonderful! Made the same way as the very old Dajak beads.

    I've had more information about these beads. Yes, they are khmer style but were made in the borther area between Cambodia and Thailand.

    Thanks for the extra info!
