Two ready-to-use pendants from Rita’s design room.
Pendant N
A large antique carnelian bead pendant in a base metal wire wrap, West African origin. The stone displays naturally occurring eyes, long prized for their protective qualities, with rich patina and wear consistent with genuine age and use. Original top and bottom drill holes make this an ideal focal pendant.
Why We Love It
The naturally occurring eyes in the stone carry centuries of protective symbolism.
Rich patina and wear speak to genuine age and use.
Original drill holes mean it’s ready to wear as a focal pendant, no modification needed.
Provenance: West African origin.
Dimensions: 45mm x 19.5mm (1.77 x 0.77 in), 30.3 grams.
Condition: Very good antique condition.
Pendant M
A classic Idar-Oberstein trade agate from Germany, mid-19th to early 20th century, with brown, grey, and white banding, set in a handmade African cage setting.
Why We Love It
A true Idar-Oberstein trade agate, with banding that’s distinct from stone to stone.
The handmade African cage setting brings together two craft traditions in one piece.
A great example of trade-era material still doing its job as a wearable pendant.
Provenance: German Idar-Oberstein, mid-19th to early 20th century.
Dimensions: 42.3mm x 22.8mm (1.67 x 0.90 in), 34.8 grams.
Condition: Good antique condition with original suspension bail missing, small nub remaining.

The items were perfect and beautiful.
Thanks,

Great quality!!!
Love them!!!
These pieces are glowing! They are so beautiful!!! I picture women wearing them in the sun and imagine how they must have gleamed in their hair. The white ornament surely glinted with sunlight! The ornaments must have moved so gracefully in their hair and with the light striking the pieces. I imagine this was an incredible thing to see! I feel like I understand these adornments in ways I never could have, not having seen them in person before.
I truly value the beautiful and unique items I have found at the Rita Okrent Collection. The owner has always been very helpful and kind. I recommend them without hesitation.
Appreciate your kindness and honesty in the way you do business. These beads and all I’ve received from you are top notch. Thank you Denise
Very well made and pretty clasp. Thank you for the free gift.
I was scrolling and came upon an extraordinary, extra-long antique rosary with amazing, large black beads. It was pricey, but I could not resist. When it arrived it was clearly worth every penny. Plus, it is an honor to have something from the Rita Okrent collection, legendary in the bead world. It was packed nicely and shipped fast. I'll be back.
I was so happy to see you had these a gain.They are my favorite. Can not beat the quality.
Really lovely sterling clasps that enhance all my designs.
Beautiful sterling-silver hook & eye set. My second order! Thank you!
These beads are the BOMB! And Rita is a great, responsive seller has a wonderful shop to visit! Love them and can’t wait to get beading! Thank you, again, for a stellar experience!
Really great service and quality items.
Wonderful, just beautiful and as I said before, packaging and delivery were great. Will definitely order again.
They are just lovely - what I needed. Love the package and fast delivery!
