Moroccan Moon

A stunning mix of antique and modern, with beads from along the old Silk Route, and a massive accent bead from near it's end.

The large milk glass bead is a 'moon bead' much prized in Morocco as it is said to offer luck and protection. I had to haggle hard for it. Both the pearls and the owl are associated with wisdom in many cultures.
