Product Details

Mali Wedding beads are hand-made, and are presented to brides on their wedding days. They were made in what was once known as Czechoslovakia, for trade in Africa. They are worn throughout West Africa, specifically in Mali. These beads are multicolored and come the shape of a bulb. While each strand is unique, and may vary from the strand pictured, yet they have similarities. The glass beads are strung in a way that allows them to swivel around the cord. These beads are greatly treasured and worn by Fulani women. This strand measures approximately 24". The strand pictured is a sample. The strand shipped will be very similar.

Beautiful

I love these beads! I have wanted some since I had seen them at a bead shop years ago and was so pleased to find Bead Chest online where there are a couple of different strands available at great prices. My beads arrived quickly and well packaged. Very happy and will definitely order from here again.

Extra Small Mali Wedding Beads

I loved these beads, unfortunately, the hole size is too small for my designs; I would compromise the bead if I were to attempt reaming a larger hole. But... absolutely gorgeous beads! Wish they would have worked for me.
