I bought Of these glass beads when a local African art store was closing. I can't find anything that looks like them on etsy or eBay. Thanks for any clues.

its a designer piece- the big round beads are indian made, 1980s furnace-wound beads, like i had in my bead shop in London some years ago, but i dont recognise the pendant. is that metal or ceramic? the clasp of course is not ethnic...

Joyce, Thank you so much for the information! I've always thought they were African because they came from an African store. Are they rare? I still can't find pictures of anything similar when I search glass beads from India (furnace wound vintage etc.) the pendant is a metal fixture from a gaslight lamp. Thanks again!
