Unique Pendants and Beads

Rita discovered so many unique and wonderful pendants during her travels, many of which are antique or ancient. Pendants were essential design elements in her necklaces. The pendants in this section come from many countries, including Egypt, Afghanistan, Morocco, Mauritania, Liberia, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Syria, Peru, Yemen, India and China. There is also a selection of special beads included in this part of the collection. We have now posted many pendants that were never before available (see New Items section).
