    benbenny007 I buy rubbish, and sell antiques

    I also listed this at the silver section.

    Trying to research theservices Yemenite globe beads but not successful finding similair with the same design.

    These also look older to me than the ones I've seen.

    Looks like they have hallmarks but not sure if these are only tool marks.

    Any info input is welcome.

    Well, you certainly keep me running around.;)
    But here it is again:
    They are 'dugag' beads ca. 1900, made in the style of the Bedihi family of silversmiths. The Bedihis were Jewish, like most Yemeni silversmiths, but made jewellery for all Yemeni communities.
    Can we see the rest of the necklace?
