Mauritanian hair beads

My customers love the necklaces that I have designed using these exquisite pieces. I love combining old world treasures with enchanting gemstones to create wearable art. When I am creating a piece, I always send a prayer back to the people who made and wore these beautiful artifacts so long ago. I am certain that they would never have imagined that someone else in another time and place would appreciate the things they cherished in their life.
