    Description

    Antique Yemenite Silver Granule Wheel Beads 10 mm (1 Pc) Jewish Silversmith.
    Granulated wheel beads, 10 mm width, made in approximately the 19th century by Jewish silversmiths in Yemen. The granules have since become worn. On some of the beads, the granules have worn almost completely together given their age (see photos). I will pick beads at random, but if there was some you really wanted, send me a message and let me know which (maybe circle on the photo and I will try to figure it out). Thanks!
    Silver used by these smiths were usually a high content silver with some copper. This was accomplished melting Maria Theresa thalers. However, exact purity is often unknown given the circumstances.
