The beauty of translucent beads is a bit difficult to display on a website. Unfortunately it is impossible to capture the real shine of a translucent bead.  The 3-dimensional lustre can only be experienced when you have the bead in your hand. Still I hope you can get a glimpse of the magic shine emanating from these ancient beads! The translucent shine of the bead TIVB 2 has not diminished in over 3500 years!
 
Many of these beads have not benn heat treated.

A beautiful bead is a messenger transcending time
As you look through the stone you pierce through time. The same shine that has captivated the bead makers in the golden Indus Valley  still still shines bright even today!

A timeless bond between you and your ancestors living countless generations before you is established in this fascination of translucent bead-beauty.
