and ancient beads
Translucent and carved ancient Agates, Onyx, etched Carnelian and gold beads
In ancient times, the great trade routes over land and sea carried luxury items from one civilisation to another. The most valued items of trade were small exotic pieces of personal adornment.
Gold, pearls from the sea, semiprecious stones, and rarer man made jewels like fused glass from Egypt and carved bone from deepest Africa. All were traded and treasured, adorned and displayed.
Small precious beads made easy travellers and endured many generations, they are visually beautiful, symbolic and attractive to wear. Their shapes worn, softened and matured by the passage of time.
