  • A really impressive collection, Kathleen.  I have only one set of this kind of beads, similar to the ones in the front of your photo.  I like the feel of them in addition to their beauty.

  • How do you find so many of them? I have seen a few strands, but never so many as these. Does your dealer bring many, many of one thing or do you buy them yourself one by one? I especially like the inner stands.
  • Hi Patricia,

    I buy what I can, when I can - and these are some, of many I bought years ago.  I have not seen nice ones like these, offered in the last 10 years.   P.S. I have a 5000 sq. foot retail store.

  • Thanks Anna!
  • Kathleen-Beautiful black coral , and I bought my favorite strand from you today!  What a wonderful shop you have.

  • @ Toya, It was a pleasure meeting you today!  Enjoy your beads! and thank-you.

  • these are gorgeous!!! I see the photo was posted 2010, but they are worth seeing again !!! Great to see the hole lot, but also wonderful how some beads are decorated differently, especially the lines in the middle of the picture, never seen such before!
