Multicolored Glass Trade Bead Earrings Kate's Collection #1

I have kept one each of many designs I was not only making, but actually taking orders on for boutiques! Imagine the amount of different materials and beads I had to have at hand to make some of these earrings... All the glass beads in these earrings are real trade beads., in fact everything in this pair would fall under that classification except the silver. The copper hishi come from Kenya, made by the Giriama tribe. I don't think I will be making earrings like this any more. I had no idea I would ever be a glass bead maker back then...
