Original Message:   Thank you for the compliments~

I bought most of these beads from a Canadian collector/dealer between four and five years ago. He said he began collecting when he was seventeen years old and living in Jordan more than thirty years ago. I have worn the three necklaces only twice. And it created an unexpected, popular sensation each time. The first event was a Jamey Allen lecture on Ancient Beads. And the other occasion was Diana Friedberg's WORLD ON A STRING book signing in San Francisco. About five of the beads were oiled -but only the ones which were extremely gray. I preferred to buy brightly colored ones -especially red and yellow- for the necklaces. Just Fred Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
