Description
- This vintage collector set of beads is priced and sold as a set of two beads: one 20mm round, the other a cylinder 30x22mm

- These beads date from the 1980s when the Picard's illustrated books of beads reached India, sparking new developments in their glass workshops
- Unfortunately, the evolution of techniques was cut short when the Chinese flooded the market with more sophisticated and cheaper versions.
- Only one set available
- From the collection of Joyce Diamanti, who lived in Calcutta for 2 years where her husband was the Consul General, and traveled around India for a National Geographic book project, also collecting beads along the way.
