Most people don’t walk around in a necklace made with genuine antiquities, and most folks don’t know the difference between an antique and an antiquity, and furthermore, most folks don’t know that they’re even allowed to own a genuine ancient item, nor would they be able to easily afford it — they’re not cheap, and they’re not easy to find, not real ones, anyway — there are a LOT of fakes out there, so beware.

The bead market that came out of Mali, Africa, has vanished forever — all you’ll find at that once-great international bead market are beads coming out of other places, notably Pakistan, China and Ethiopia.
