Well, I'm back home from Thailand but my desire to solve the mystery of the enormous ivory beads remains (Bead adventures in Thailand post number 4 ). I've got some ideas about where to next (Bead adventures in Thailand post number 6) but would like some more ideas about my next steps - what would you suggest?
I'll reward the most creative suggestion with a give-away of a lovely blue silk choker with silver findings I bought in Thailand. Winner announced Monday 24th August - 10.00 am Australian Eastern Time.

I don't have any ideas :( But I am really curious!
Thanks for the tip off about your blog contest. I really enjoyed your Thailand series. I visited Bangkok many years ago before I got into gemstones and jewelry.
Well, my guess for the large ivory beads is they were made to be prayer beads for monks. I can't see warriors wearing such heavy pieces - they would have gone with gold and gems for these signify wealth and power more than ivory.
