Set of 10, big, vintage, ethnic beads with from Quetta Valley, Balochistan. These large beads are often used on hair tassels - the size is compelling and the craftsmanship is beautiful. Various sizes and designs - this is a mixed lot of 10 different beads. On average between 2" and 2.12" long. Each one has loops/bails around the center. The openings are about .4" to 5" across.

The Baloch tribes come from a region of Southwest Asia - there are many tribes in the region and I am not sure exactly which one the beads can be attributed to. These are unique, handcrafted, and beautiful. I've used beads like this in my own jewelry designs - they make a powerful impact as a centerpiece.

Vintage pieces with signs of age and wear. There are some indentations, various degrees of patination, and worn metal.

Different monitors and phone apps show colors differently. I do my best to accurately document color using both photos and written descriptions. If you have any questions, please send me a message.
