Ostrich Eggshell Beads Combined with Handmade Porcelain Beads

The ostrich eggshell bead is one of the oldest known man-made beads. They are commonly known in this corner of the world as 'Pearls of the Kalahari Desert'. And to the San Bushmen they are even meant to bring good luck. Apart from all of this I have discovered that they mix beautifully with natural colored ceramic beads. I just could not resist adding a couple to some porcelain beads that I made recently to form a simple necklace. Shortly available in the Etsy shop. More to come.
