These authentic Djenne beads derive their name from the ancient city in Mali where they are found. Also known locally as Nila beads, they are said to be made of ancient excavated glass and are centuries old. The exact provenance of these beads is not known but it is believed that they may be possibly roman. Djenne beads are a more rare variety of African bead and are found in several colors including white, black, yellow, green, and blue. Blue beads such as these are more highly coveted and harder to find. Each bead measures approximately 2-4mm wide and 3-4mm in diameter. Each strand is unique and may vary slightly from strand pictured. Bead count is approximate. Some strands may not have white string on top. Please inquire in advance if required. Two strands are pictured however each strand is sold individually.

    Beautiful, like worn denim

    I love these beads for their rustic dark blue colors. Some have an iridescence and some are translucent, definately have an ancient relic vibe. One strand yielded a casual 5 strand bracelet. I can wear this artifact with most things, like a favorite pair of jeans.
