I recently have been left some antique beads and necklaces by my grandmother who passed. I have several full African wedding bead necklaces and Venetian millifiori necklaces as well as a six layer yellow Chevron I can’t even find pictures of online. My Grandma was an antique ephemera dealer and obtained her beads through her travels. Please contact me ASAP so I can learn what I have, and if you would be interested.

Thank you for your inquiry regarding our appraisal service. I did answer the email you also sent, with the photos. In case you did not receive that email, I told you that we charge $98 for a single item informal appraisal (emailed) although in this case I would consider your two pieces as a single item since they are the same. If you are interested in pursuing this you can pay us by PayPal or credit card and I will conduct the appraisal and send you the report.

I order some Kufi’s from this website to be shipped to the UK. David was a great communicator, the product was well crafted and authentic from Burkina Faso and the shipment was well priced and fast.
I look forward to repeating our custom.
Many thanks
