Originating from Venice, Italy, these wound glass beads are also known as lampwork beads. Each bead is meticulously handcrafted using the ancient lampwork technique, where glass is wound around a mandrel and decorated with trails of molten glass. This method, perfected by Venetian artisans, results in beads of exceptional beauty and durability.
These beads were once highly prized in African trade, particularly in Ghana, where they were used as a form of currency and symbol of wealth and status. Today, they are cherished by collectors and jewelry makers for their historical significance and unique craftsmanship.
Enhance your collection with these beautiful Venetian trade beads, a perfect blend of history and art.
