  • Ancient Turquoise beads from the Bactrian area of northern Afghanistan
  • 16-inch strand of heishi graduated from 2-5mm diameter with 6 lenticular cross section beads and a top drilled diamond-shape pendant
  • Assembled from beads found in the Bactrian area of northern Afghanistan, these beads are among the types widely traded to the Indus Valley, Mesopotamia and Egypt between 1000 and 3000 BCE
  • I like to follow the ancient style, combining these with small ancient carnelians and gold
