Trade Beads 18th 19th 20th centuries
2025

A bold fusion of history and craftsmanship, this one-of-a-kind bracelet features African Trade Beads from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. Venetian Millefiori, Greenhearts, Chevron glass, African Bauxite clay, and recycled glass beads bring rich cultural significance. Accented with bone, copper, or sterling silver, I handcrafted each piece using 20-gauge sterling silver or copper wire for durability and an organic feel. Designed with a contemporary vision, every bracelet honors tradition while making a unique statement.
