From a distance, this collection looks a bit like a bunch of tomatoes.
But a closer look reveals an assortment of 15 antique red coral beads, weighing in at about 115 grams. They measure between 14-31mm.
We understand they have been hand-crafted into beads by the Berber tribal people off the Mediterranean coast of Morocco, North Africa.
These highly collectible beads are perfect ingredients for creativity - particularly for those artisans with a bent on creating amazing tribal or ethnic-inspired jewellery.
These worn beads compliment the greens of turquoise and amazonite, the gold and browns of topaz and amber, the jet black of Algerian onyx, and certainly silver, white metal or sterling silver.
Jewellery could include an exotic necklace, an eye-catching bracelet, or even a head-turning pair of earrings.
Although all the beads in this collection vary in size and texture, they average out at $3.40 each and weigh in at approximately 116 grams.
The accompanying photos illustrate exactly what to expect in your order.
