Flat Teardrop Wedding Trade Beads Bohemian MATTER COLLECTION

These beads come in several different shapes, colors and patterns. This strand incorporates one of the most popular shapes, the round teardrop. It also features the flat teardrop, flat tabular shape, and stylized claw shapes.

This strand is not intended to be a ready-to-wear necklace. Although the strand can be worn "as is," the raffia holding it together is not durable and may break with use. For this reason, we recommend that you re-string the beads before wearing them.

Provenance: Matter Collection

From the collection of Margie and Phil Matter. Margie lived in South Africa, and later she and her husband Phil opened a gallery in Tucson. Everything in this collection was in their home for more than thirty years. Africa Direct recently bought the collection; at 95, Margie wants to share the things she has loved so much.
