Description

  • Very nice quality on well matched strand of rare green and blue-green Indo-Pacific beads from Indonesia 
  • 4-6mm beads on 22-inch strand, collected in Jakarta, Indonesia in 1992
  • The Indo-Pacific family of beads originated in Arikamedu in Southern India around 400 BC and quickly spread in all directions. Over the next few hundred years, they reached all over Southeast-Asia, throughout the Middle East, North Africa, and all the to Scandinavia in Europe, becoming the "greatest little trade bead of all time" according to bead researcher Pete Francis.
  • They come in other colors, often aqua and blue from north Africa. Yellow and green are more rare.
