Beadwork items often become worn after a relatively short period of time, repairs often show where the original maker or owner tried to keep the item in good condition.  These pieces may be  frayed, worn or have other evident wear.  Beadwork may come loose in places.  Please check all photos carefully for condition and be aware that this wear is a part of the vintage cultural nature of these items.  Loose beading can often be repaired easily using a beading needle and beading floss.  If you have questions about any of our items, please let us know by emailing us at info@redcamel.net.

Afghani beadwork is some of the finest in the world, often with intricate mathematical patterns.  (Studies have been done on the mathematics of Kuchi beadwork - ask me about it!)  Please be aware that these pieces have been used and reused, often many times, and will show wear in places.  If necessary, beadwork can often be repaired simply by running a bit of beading floss through the beads and knotting it securely.
