Bamiyan Market

by: Dwyn Tomlinson

Bamiyan - an ancient city with many a story to tell. Not just of the immense carved Buddhas (now, tragically, lost to us all) - but of the worlds oldest oil-paintings - on the labyrinthine cave walls - oil paintings made from colourants like ground Lapis and other stones.

These Lapis and African Turquoise beads, accented with silver evoke the mystery of the ancient worlds of the middle eastern lands.

This particularly lovely clasp is, of course - sold out - and pulled from my private stash. Ya snooze - ya lose. ;-) But substituting a different clasp, or one from your own stash - will make this necklace more personal and your own design!

This particular necklace is about 18 inches long. Lengthen or shorten to your own taste!

The pattern is, from the centre, and matches on each side. A sterling daisy spacer separates each bead.
