Mystery

Mystery - three large carved focal beads with six large dyed stone beads, four "amber" beads, and more dyed stone beads; pewter toggle.

Approx 21" L

So, we all know I treasure hunt for beads to upcycle, and this piece is the culmination of said hunting.

The three main focal beads where sold as "old carved beads", my assumption is cinnabar, but I'm not sure.

The six blue and white beads and the smaller red and "turquoise" colored beads were from a source that never identified their beads, my assumption (again) is dyed magnesite.

And the "amber" was from a questionable source, I think its resin or amber that was melted down and reformed from Africa.

But, put them all together and its an affordable statement piece made with love.
