I inherited all my beads and jewelry from my Grandmother, who is 94 years old and lives with me.  She no longer is able to enjoy this craft.  She would go out to California and Seattle Washington to buy her beads from incoming ships from other countries.  As a result she has acquired a vast collection of various beads, metals (ie:silver,gold and brass) and pendants.  She also acquired a lot of beads in the mid-west and South America.   When she was making her jewelry she would sell at various art shows and contribute the  money to the Shriners Hospital.   Most of the beads/jewelry that are auctioned are part of this collection, that spans well over 25 years.

So now I am trying my hand at this and will be selling vast array of gem stones, beads, African trade beads, various jewelry pieces. brass, silver and pewter pieces. I am by no means an expert with beads or gem stones. The information, I give is to the best of my ability. I am very reliant on my grandmothers memory, helpful insight from Bead Collectors and Various Bead Books. My husband is a collector of coins and will be selling also. At times we will be selling various other items. Thanks for taking the time to check out our auctions!   Helen and Matt
