Hillary, what silver beads are these? The large ones look almost like Agrab al Fadda, Mauritanian.

Gorgeous

Hi Ann, I'm not quite sure but I'm hoping some one here will know!

Are they for sale?

These are not for sale...I have some plans for them ;-) along with some coral and amber.

Good on you! Sounds quite delicious.

not mauritanians though looking like or inspired from.

These come from southern moroccan oases inhabited by dark skinned dwellers. Women would throw them in their home made necklaces

Would these be Aka/Tata? Very envious!

Great necklace! I haven't done anything yet with these; I'm waiting for the right project :-)
