Product Details

Admire this unique strand of authentic Venetian Trade Beads. Predominantly produced on the island of Murano, beads such as these were produced for centuries by specialized artisans whose technical and artistic know-how was closely guarded and shrouded in secrecy. Produced for the purpose of export, Venetian Trade Beads came to be used as a form of currency throughout continental Africa where they were exchanged for influence and commodities. Today, these beads are coveted by collectors and bead aficionados alike who appreciate the rich cultural, artistic, and historical legacy that these works of art represent.
