Bright, beautifully colored glass trade beads with an occasional plastic spacer bead. Originally made in southern Spain and Venice especially for the African trade. Tribes would keep these beads as heirlooms for generations. They are now being accumulated in Nigeria and Ghana by the bead, and restrung for your beading projects. Strand lengths will vary randomly from 32 inches to 36 inches.
More than impressed, was a great suprise to receive what I thought I was going to receive.

I received my beads today. The beads are just as you described them on your website. They are beautiful! I tried them on and can't wait to wear them out. Thank you.

The beads met my expectation for variety of color. The only thing that I didn't like was the stringing process. The knot ties on the necklaces were still very noticeable. You can go ahead and trim them yourself. The string that was used appears to be very sturdy and should hold for a very long time.
