This wonderful design features a unique combination of translucent old glassbeads (which are either Bohemian or Indian), brassbeads, silver beads and metal beads. The central black-white bead is most likely from Nepal. The look is completed with old Moroccan and Ethiopian brass beads, a goldwash bead and two newly made brassbeads created with the lost wax method (or cire perdue in French) which is still a method used in African regions. It has a sterling silver clasp.
