What beautiful old silver! I usually don't like Turkoman beads, but these are breathtaking.

Yes aren't they?

The silver has an organic almost warm feel to it.

And you can relax, I think they've been long sold.

So you, like me, will have to enjoy this archival shot, but they're still on our website if you want to see more shots ersari-turkoman-medium-silver-beads I'm hoping we'll get more like them.
