Anna. you are surprising us with this beautiful beads, verry beautiful
Thank you, Ait Ouakli. I appreciate your comments on my small collection. A friend who writes and publishes on beads has mentioned that he is working on his next book that will be on Yemen jewelry, and wishes to include the photographs that he took of much of our collection. I hope he is able to manage the financial arrangements to produce the book. Several of our pieces have been published in his Ornament magazine a few years ago. I am glad my husband made that initial trip to Yemen so many years ago and became entranced with the culture and the jewelry.
Thank you again,
Anna
very interesting beads, never seen before.
Very nice picture. Good of you to take the trouble to make a photo from the insides. My beads that are similar to yours have these signatures too. Sad you do not see them when the necklace is worn.
Yes, I agree it's too bad that we cannot see the signatures once the necklace is put together. Even the one on the top of the hirz is usually hidden by small beads. That is why I took the opportunity to photograph the signed pieces off the string.
