Product Details

This set of 10 glass Snake Beads contains many rare hard-to-find colors including ivory, black, and light green. These are authentic old strands, not newer reproductions. These beads were made in the former Czechoslovakia and then traded in West Africa. They are called 'snake' beads because of their similarity to the snake vertebrae and date back from the early 1900's. These beads have been molded and are in relatively good condition, though some beads may be damaged due to age. It is less common to find these beads in solid color strands and a trove with this many colors is almost impossible to find. Wear the whole set as is or use the beads in your personal creations. Truly a unique find!
