Beads. Ancient Beads. Rare, very rare, hard as Hell to find. I have them. Lots of them, so it’s not just about tapestries, which run only a couple hundred bucks, by the way.
I have more than a half million ancient beads stored away in bank boxes, ready for YOU to use in beautiful, artistic jewelry pieces that YOU make and sell, and there’s no reason you couldn’t start today.
- SUMERIAN — These small stone beads come in different colors, including black, grey, brown, red, and ochre, the most prevalent being the white steatite variety.
- WESTERN ASIATIC — These can include Lagash and Amlash Cultures, and a number of cultures along the Silk Trade Route. They tend to range in price rather wildly, from a modest $5 all the way up to rare museum-grade items for sale only to museums. Several Western Asiatic Gold items are offered, ranging from $500 to $5,000.
- ROMAN — I have a very large collection of Roman Cobalt Glass, Carved and Etched Carnelian, fabulous undyed ancient lapis, and even some ancient Roman Gold beads.
- GREEK — Athenian and many mainland beads are in my collection, and they’re all for sale for the first time, including some gold repousse miniatures of Greek Gods and Goddesses, ranging in price from $500 to $3,000.
- PRE-COLUMBIAN — Not many types, but a large number of PC beads reside in my collection, and I’ll be bringing all of them in for sale at the gallery.
- EGYPTIAN — All my Egyptian material comes from the 18th dynasty at Amarna, the city which was called “Aken-Aten”, or “City of the Sun” back in ancient times. Today, it takes the name of “Amarna”, but that is a relatively modern name for the region of the capital city of Akhen-Aten’s reign. I have many so-called “mummy” beads, but none of mine were ever used in burial — they came from the apartments of Princess Meryt-Aten, and I have the papers to prove it. I also have several items of Meryt-Aten’s cosmetic table, and a number of inlays and cloth weavings, ranging in price from $5,000.00 to $500,000.00 for the match to the main showpiece at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s 19th dynasty “Lisht” collection. It is the 18th dynasty version — theirs is the 19th dynasty copy! I will sell this only to be able to open my Ashram Refuge, and the rarity of this item is over the top!!!
I have so many ancient beads that I’ll be wholesaling them fast at prices that nobody can resist — I can’t possibly use them all up, and somebody should.
I also have antique and vintage beads, but I’ve used them to make a bunch of necklaces, which range in price from $89.00 to $389.00, depending on the scarcity of the beads or the silver with which I make these. The clasps are all handmade by Claude.
You might be interested in the plans I have for antiquities — Again, I have a LOT of them, left over from the days when we did a different jewelry show every month.
Lots of them. Cheap. Too many to use, must get them out to folks somehow, right now. Will sell cheap.
You can surround yourself with lucky items, sell them and get into the flow of lucky things, give them away and earn Merit.
There are a lot of ways to work with these tools, and you’re invited to explore them and see what they can do for your spiritual evolution and for the peace of this planet, which is now in serious doubt.
I have a Von Heune Recorder for sale at $4,500.00, and a set of Mollenhauers, Soprano, Alto and Tenor, with gig bags, like new, $3,500.00 sacrifice price.
First Unexpurgated Edition of Samuel Pepys, $1,800.00, uncut and perfect. Many original art books with bound-in original artworks by major artists will be offered at the gallery.
Also for sale is a set of “Circle of Johnson” authors — Steele, Addison, Pope and more, The Spectator, Tattler, World and more, all original, in original calf bindings, the entire collection, which originally cost $12,000.00, is offered at only $5,500.00, but this historic collection must find a home, and fast!
Also for sale are many original works of art by the New York School. I have literally hundreds of lithos from the WPA — the entire collection is being dumped, if I may use the term, for a total of $4,000.00 and a huge collection of Derriere le Miroir is being offered at half price, with many originals by Chagall, Miro, Matisse, Giacometti, Calder and so many more — all very saleable and rare original works of art, and many of my pieces have not been on the market for over 30 years, so they’d be grabbed fast, by a buying crowd.
I’ve made hundreds of silver rings, most of which are made with ancient beads. If you’d like one in your size, they’ll all be offered at a ridiculous price, to get them out of the country, if possible, or at least out of here, where they might be confiscated by government troops looking for money when they don’t get paid, which happens often, in all the other third-world countries, which is what we now are, like it or not, know it or not.
Sports memorabilia — golf, baseball, football, boxing — I have signed items by pro athletes including a boxing glove inscribed to me by my grandpa’s friend, prize fighter Sugar Ray Leonard. I’m willing to sell it rather than have it fall into Trump hands, and the same goes for the Don Adams golfball, Jimmy Piersall baseball, William Shatner golf ball, and the golf ball signed by Jill St. John.
See You At The Top!!!
