Vintage Authentic British West African Coin with a center hole. Used throughout West Africa from British Cameroons to the British Gold Coast. Well worn and patinated coins dating from the 30's and up. Used as currency in the colonial period. Left with the old patina. Fabulous for pendants and/or charms in jewelry making, collage, textile and artful embellishment.

A strand of about 75 soft white Recycled Glass Beads strung on string 18" long. These beads are size 1 (about 5-6 mm in diameter). The beads are unpolished and natural. Photos don't do these beads justice as they are translucent so it seems somehow the camera can't quite catch them! They are handmade so colour, size and shape vary. These recycled glass beads were purchased straight from the small factory which hand crafts them using the methods of their ancestors, from crushing recycled bottles all the way to firing them in a wood burning oven. These small beads are the hardest to make as the smaller the bead is the easier it is to break during the process of making them.
