African Ambroid Earrings


Check out this pair of African Ambroid earrings at the Beadshaper's Boutique on the second floor of the Andersonville Galleria at 5247 N Clark Street in Chicago.
The ambroid beads are bakelite made in Europe or North America in the early 20th Century and sold in Africa where at the time they were considered valuables and used in dowrys.
The earrings were assembled by the Beadshaper's hands using sterling silver findings and the ambroid beads.
