Featured Hello friends <3-beads & brooch & locket!

http://africanbeads.net/wiki/white-heart-beads

The variability in the size of your beads indicates some age. Bead manufacture became more uniform during the 20th century. But white hearts are still being made.

yes, the beads are white heart trade beads... imo.........mine are around here somewhere....
and the paws are SW NA !!
nice finds...

the locket is cool too !!!

 

They have a nice old clasp too, and since the stringing looks original I bet the clasp is too. The other corals look like coral, even if some idjut used plastic or whatever "gold" accents. (someone in the 70s cheaped out is my guess) The bear paws look real too, if not old unless someone did some serious reworking and replaced all the findings. (and methinks Bear and Any have already nailed down the other two with the agates!)

 

Lovely,thank you so much xxx

 

Thank you Komo! I have been very lucky ... looking forward to booties starting properly again. I LOVE STUFFS xx

 

This is wonderful, thank you Evelb! I LOVE MY THINGS!

 

(Also,would like to say here that when I saw the white middle, I remembered a post I'd read here (that I think you may have made,@evelyb30 ) where you told someone they had trade beads and you explained about them. When I saw the white centre I had a flashback!) So another thank you from me <3 xxxx

 

That was probably someone else, but you're welcome anyway.
