So getting past my terrible foreign accent, lol. I can't find out where these beads came from. It's just a little knotted cord necklace of what I think are painted lacquerware beads with crimped metal ends and a barrel clasp, I thought it would be easy enough to identify, but nooooo, can't find any same or similar anywhere. The beads are slightly heavy and coolish so they aren't plastic, but not heavy enough to be stone or glass, and they warm to the touch, the only guess left is lacquerware. Ideas, theories, expertise on these beads all welcome. Thanks for looking.
Thanks for the quick love, brunswick, and nutsabotas6. :)
Ken, these are truly a puzzle. They don't feel cold or heavy enough to be sure they are glass, yet they are coolish and a little heavy so they aren't plastic. I'm clueless! :P
I'm back to suspecting lacquerware, lol. ;)
Africa???
Nice necklace. [;>)

NB, could be Africa, too -- could be anywhere! ;) Thank you! :)

Laquered papier-mache, if they are light.
Thanks, SEAN68, for the love. :)
Thanks, Davy, that's a good thought to pursue! :)
Katherine, I found this, but the sight wouldn't go any further.
Maybe it will for you. IDK but it's pretty. :)
