These green "fancy" beads are an exceptional example of wound glass beads, known for their unique decorative trails and vibrant color. Ideal for collectors and jewelry designers, they embody the rich history of trade and craftsmanship.
Venetian lampwork beads are meticulously handcrafted using a technique that dates back centuries. In this process, rods of glass are heated over a flame and wound around a mandrel to create the beads, which are then intricately decorated with trails of molten glass. These beads played a significant role in trade, particularly in Ghana and across Africa, where they were valued not only as currency but also as symbols of status and culture.
