Forget about my question - I just read your comment. Mixing them with coral is a great idea!
wow! wow! wow!
The silver beads would originally have been mixed with a variety of semi-precious trade beads. This is M-F D`s own take on how they might have looked.
She uses such glorious amber!
Thanks, Akkie. Some of them were presented to me, having been squirrelled away in a tin that wasn`t even in the Marrakech souk shop - it was tucked away out of the public`s site somewhere. And they were practically a gift. On the other hand, another Moroccan trader charged hugely sky high prices, also for tucked away beads. I just hope it all evens out.
It`s an ongoing love affair!
I like that "it's an ongoing love affair" - I guess, we all have something like this with one type of jewellery or the other, ......you said it very nice!
Thanks, Eva. I know yours is with Ethiopian and some W. African adornment. You have such a good and interesting collection.
Good to be in love with something that doesn`t answer back!
Another good statement...! ("good to be in love with something that doesn't answer back!").
I agree, it makes it easier!
this is impressif. so many different pieces in one strag.
the earings are also splendid
Oh yes, I like this. Welcome back, Frankie. We've missed you. You always had an eye for a good bead ... or two. Love the colours of the crushed velvet. Could you make it into a jacket and wear the beads with it?
