Little did I know the long spindle shaped beads shown on the Bead Society website really are a mystery. These are beads I thought I knew! They are the Mystery Beads pictured on our site for the last month or two. The beads are mine as is the photo.

Jackie Little imported them in the late "80's or early '90's and I think she said they are from Nagaland. They are not mentioned in any of my references so I can't verify that claim. Is anyone in BCN familiar with these?? The bells could be Chin. Grateful for any help!
