All of those sneak peaks I’ve posted (and even more!) are now online! Something fabulous that I haven’t tried on are these two 2nd century (!) Ptolemaic Eye Beads from Brian’s new special collection. Carried along important Islamic Trade Routes from Persia to Egypt into Sudan and The West African Kingdom of Mali, a necklace made of these beads would often have been assembled bead by bead over a period of years and decades. Wearing these would truly be like wearing a piece of history! Follow the link in our profile to claim one or both of these exquisite pieces! #ptolemaic #ptolemaicbeads #ancientbeads #antiquebeads #antiquejewelry #islamictraderoute #mali #westafrica #rarebeads #ancientjewelry #jewelryhistory #handwoundbeads #handwoundglass #statementnecklace #fashion #style #shop #nyc #unionsquare #beadsofparadise (at Beads of Paradise NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdtFjwBNXZE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
