24 pieces organized by “newest to oldest” as far as it’s addition to the site*. It’s a nice way to see what’s new, or view it all as a whole.
Use the drop menu for “Period Beadwork” above to separate items by century or item type.

*If an older piece reappears at the top, it’s due to my finding and adding additional photos and/or information and it’s publication date has been adjusted to reflect this.
