This traditional method involves winding molten glass around a metal rod, allowing for intricate designs and vibrant colors. Historically, these beads played a significant role in trade, particularly in Ghana and other parts of Africa, where they were used as currency and symbols of status and wealth. Their journey from Venice to Africa adds a fascinating layer of history and value to each bead.
