These 1940-60's Cast Resin Amber Dowry strands are perfectly pumpkin-y and candy corn colored and therefore fantastic for Autumn and spooky season style! Originally used as Trade Beads and Dowry Currency in Morocco, North Africa, the beads in this strand remain in the original configuration as they were purchased years ago, and have been lovingly restrung by our New York City staff. #resinamber #castresin #vintagebeads #heirloombeads #heirloomjewelry #fauxamber #moroccan #moroccanjewelry #moroccanbeads #autumsstyle #autumnfashion #fallfashion #fallstyle #spookyseason #halloween #halloweenstyle #vintagejewelry #fashion #style #styleinspo #shop #nyc #unionsquare #beadsofparadise (at Beads of Paradise NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVY4pWZALbB/?utm_medium=tumblr

How charming iare these Islamic "Hadj" Beads Czech Trade Bead bead strand / necklaces ca 1920-50?! Beloved throughout the Islamic World in the Middle East and West Africa, our versions come from Nigeria. Originally a Czech made trade bead made in the mid 20th Century specifically for Islamic Trade Markets, these vibrant red beads became a Treasured Heirloom and symbol of Devotion.

How spectacular are these Jet Talismanic Beads Antique from Afghanistan?! These particular shapes were popular in the early to mid 20th century, and were worn "as is" with their beautiful, blocky angular shapes and clean linear geometry. Added to Tasbih Prayer Bead Malas, or strung on a cord as a Protective Amulet, these rare and important beads would have been an Heirloom and Prized Possession believed to dispel and defeat negative energy, both from inside the wearer, and attacks by others.

Positively swooning over all of the delicious reds and candied yellow beads in these Yoruba "Ateyun" Powder Glass "Coral" Heirloom Beads from Nigeria ca.1900. These beads are distinctive in how they were produced; instead of being created using a mold, Ateyun beads are made by moistening finely crushed glass and then shaping the mixture by rolling it between the fingers to create the desired bead shape. A twig would then be pushed through the bead center to create a hole, and they’d be fired in a kiln, cooled, and aged by being washed in a mixture of sand and water. Fascinating: yes! Gorgeous: definitely.

Currently smitten by this stunning Suleiman Heirloom Agate Necklace! I just *love* how much character each and every bead has, despite all being the same stone, and much life it lends to piece as a whole! Suleiman agates, or Solomon’s agates, are a highly revered bead throughout the Near East and Central Asia that has been shrouded in mystery for centuries. While some say the name comes from the secret location they were originally mined from, which only King Solomon knew, others say that they were once plain, unpatterned agates that only developed bands after being in the possession of the famous King himself and his fabled wisdom. They were said to impart to the possessor that same knowledge and power, as well as the ability to control djinn (genies). #suleiman #suleimanagate #heirloombeads #agate #bandedagate #bhaisajyagurubeads #bhaisajyaguru #medicinebuddha #solomanagate #blackandwhite #stripedbeads #blackandwhitejewelry #statementnecklace #statementjewelry #shop #nyc #unionsquare #beadsofparadise (at Beads of Paradise NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8xKCUOn8XL/?igshid=11dd08235e3qd

We bet the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel would love our "Marvelous Marbles" Pink Scrabble Glass Beads, that you can purchase by the strand or by the bead! Thee hand moulded Glass Trade Beads Resembling Floral "Millefiori 1000 Flower" Glass were created in India in the 1940-70's specifically for trade with Naga Tribal Groups in Northern India, and Burma. They also traveled through the Cultural Trade Routes to Nepal and Tibet, where they were highly prized for their unusual pink color and their "marble-like" floral glass insets. These exotic Trade Beads were easily adopted as a precious cultural heirloom in their own right. #marvelousmrsmaisel #floralglassbeads #handmouldedglass #handmadeglassbead #millefiori #tradebeads #naga #nagabeads #nagajewelry #northernindia #burma #heirloombeads #pinkbeads #happyjewelry #vintagebeads #vintagejewelry #shop #nyc #unionsquare #beadsofparadise (at Beads of Paradise NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7wyps2B0ML/?igshid=1ksr3jjydlbx8

These amazing Antique Coral Heirloom Beads were collected in Mali, West Africa, where they are passed on thru generations of traditional women as High Level Dowry and Prestige Beads. They've been hand-strung and knotted onto a silk cord with a gold-plated clasp to make a truly unique necklace. #antiquecoral #antiquecoraljewelry #antiquecoralnecklace #heirloom #heirloombeads #heirloomjewelry #mali #westafrica #maliwestafrica #antiquejewelry #antiquebeads #fashion #style #prestigebeads #dowrybeads #coralnecklace #coralbeads #handmade #shop #nyc #unionsquare #beadsofparadise (at Beads of Paradise NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsoMaE0gzIk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2mfjp99ctl02

This brilliant 19th Century Mali Conus Shell Currency Heirloom Necklace is amazing and certainly not something you see every day! In Mali, an arid land-locked country, seashells  were highly valued and treasured as heirlooms. Often used as high level currency in cattle and other commodity exchanges, these impressive well worn shells passed down through generations. #conusshell #mali #conusshellnecklace #conusshellcurrency #19thcentury #antique #antiquebeads #antiquejewelry #19thcenturyjewelry #antiquebeads #shellbeads #heirloombeads #heirloomnecklace #heirloomjewelry #statementnecklace #statementjewelry #shop #nyc #unionsquare #beadsofparadise (at Beads of Paradise NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsVxJZiAwXm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1od6zglk6gsku
