News on our offering of Tibetan beads and pendants at Cocopah. This past year it has proven difficult to locate interesting pieces at a reasonable price. It seems that much of what is available is not good quality and uses non-traditional materials such as synthetic opal, dyed turquoise, etc. Antique artifacts are impossible to find.
The group called 'Vintage Tibetan Pendants' was bought from a Tibetan who is also a collector who insisted they were 'vintage' but I feel very uncertain about the age of them. The coral used is definitely old and of very fine quality. The designs are exceptional. Some are double-sided with an entirely different design on the other side. If interested, request a scan of the other side.
The beads are made in Tibetan homes with no regular production. Usually you will never see the bead you fell in love with again. But that's the great bead game, I guess...the hunt and thrill of discovery.
All pendants except the small brass Buddhist pendants at $8.00 are one of a kind. The small brass pendants were sold to me as 'vintage' but once again, I'm uncertain of the age and don't want to pass along misinformation.
Hope your year is going well. We feel very positive about 2010 and have opened COCOPAH NORTH across the street from Tlaquepaque. We have a big oak bead stringing table and more beads. You are invited to join us for tea and free stringing lessons. Look for a new section about COCOPAH NORTH on the website soon. At COCOPAH NORTH we also have a collection of antique American patchwork quilts, New Guinea artifacts, Mission oak furniture, the work of Hopi artist, Delbridge Honanie, etc.
