Re: Please Assist in ID Beads -- AFranck | Post Reply | Edit | Forum | Where am I? |
Hello AFranck, At the link below you will find a Search Result, in which I discuss new beads from Java that copy ancient beads rather successfully. I am reasonably certain your beads are from the same Javanese beadmakers in Jember--though they may be somewhat more recent.
Your beads look very new, and have not been given the routine "artificial aging" (in acid) that is typical. In my opinion, this is a good thing.
I hope you did not pay a price that would be expected for authentic ancient beads. If you did, you were ripped-off.
I hope this is helpful. Jamey D. Allen
