Every bead is a precious gift from ancient times and was traded from Europe to Africa mostly around the seventeenth to the nineteenth century.

Glass beads, originally brought from Persia and China by Arab traders,were traded later from Europe by the Portuguese.

In the sixteenth century Venice was the European center of Glass Bead production.

In the nineteenth century Amsterdam and later Czechoslovakia overtook Venice in the making of pressed porcelain beads.

The Millefiori beads were made by Venetian glass-makers in the fifteenth century until

the nineteenth century. The Czech and German glass beads are from the early 1800s.

The Mauritanian “Amber”, old Yemenite Silver Beads made by Jewish craftsmen, lost wax brass beads, batik bone beads, Copal, like Amber an ancient tree resin, are some of the wonderful beads I use to design my necklaces.

All my necklaces are made with antique African glass beads, Trade beads,silver beads, Agate, Chevron Beads, Wedding beads, Ethiopian silver-metal beads.

 

My necklaces were featured in the Lucky Magazine and in the BESCENE Magazine.
