Venetian lampwork beads, also known as wound glass beads, are created by winding molten glass around a metal rod. This meticulous process allows for the creation of complex designs and unique patterns. Historically, these beads were highly valued in Africa, particularly in Ghana, where they were used as currency and symbols of wealth and status.
