[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9718374, member: 2844"]The Afghan beads are different, they are more "plump". They are classic spacers from the general region. They are also used as spacers and end beads in the Middle East. The seller is correct about the origin. Berber/Amazigh makes sense for your beads. Seeing them in silver made the penny drop. Not that I have seen them before, but they look related to some Mauretanian beads. I know you said yours are also silver, but they look so brassy that I couldn't make the connection.[/QUOTE]
