Hi! I'm Lorna. I'm new in beads world. I can only make simple necklace, bracelet and earrings. I want to learn more specially making seedbeads for necklace, bracelet and earrings but I don't know how to do it, I don't know where to start and the materials needed.

It's HIGHLY unlikely these are real Dzi beads.... Especially if they're coming from a Chinese bead exporter.....

Almost every available Dzi bead is a modern reproduction-- not "ancient", and even experts are fooled by some of the better ones.

Kaytee has very good advice about dZi beads.
A very few sellers have real dZi beads available. Komal in Seattle, Bassem Elias of Ancient Beads and Artifacts in the Bay area are possibilities.

See http://beadcollector.net/openforum/ or Jamey Allen's yahoo group ( http://groups.yahoo.com/group/zibeads/ ) for more info on dZi beads.

Hi Lorna

[#welcome] to the world of making jewellery

You should start a new thread and great folk will give you great advice. Here you'll get lost in the responses to whatsisface and his dubious dzi beads.
