I can scarcely believe my eyes here, Thomas. Utterly gorgeous!

For a moment was quite concerned that I might not soon hold the record for the ownership of these magical beads - 34.

I had been toying with the idea of stringing them all together as opposed to using Mauritanian amber and Idar Oberstein agate with them. I do believe this has notion has been confirmed in me now I`ve seen this. The impact is amazing.

Obsessed?.....QUOI?!.....MOI?!

Frankie what about the square and the triangle beads? amazing......

These are really gorgeous!!! All of them, all shapes!

Yes, I love the variety of the shapes.

Marie-Ange, I think I will make one of my aims in life to find something similar to the square and triangular beads. And I think the smaller boghdad is fabulous, too.
