I searched the BCN archive and didn't find anything about these types of beads- so I would like to start a thread and ask for any info on these beads and their age, as well as examples of ethnic jewelry that would have been made with them.

Thanks to everyone who contributes to BCN - it's a daily dose of information and fun for us bead heads!

I saw many wonderful newly made beads like these in an airport shop in Denpasar, Bali during the early 2000's. I heard they were being manufactured in West Bali. Although Celuk -near Ubud- is better known for contemporary fabrication of jewelry in silver and gold. And I found none in Ubud, Celuk nor nearby in Sukawati crafts markets. Since I knew they were available in the Gift Shows in America at the time, I decided not to trek out to west Bali in search of them.
