Handcrafted in Venice and traded throughout Africa during the late 19th to early 20th century, these beads reflect the long history of cross-cultural exchange between European glassmakers and African trading networks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"345\" data-end=\"688\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eThe strand displays a beautiful variety of shapes, sizes, and tones, with the deep translucent reds of the cornaline beads contrasting against the layered geometric character of the tabular beads. Their worn surfaces and soft patina speak to decades of circulation and use, making the strand both historically significant and visually dynamic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis strand is not intended to be a ready-to-wear necklace. Although the strand can be worn \"as is,\" the string holding it together is not durable and may break with use. For this reason, we recommend that you restring the beads before wearing them.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_MetafieldRow_17rwl_1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_MetafieldField_18aa6_4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_RowWrapper_ni3is_6\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_FormFieldLabel_ni3is_25\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"Polaris-Text--root Polaris-Text--bodyMd\"\u003eStrand Length (in): \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e32 Inches including raffia\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eBead Size: 5.5-21mm in diameter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e154843\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"sku 154000","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51383355736359,"sku":"154843","price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/1015\/9911\/files\/IMG_6828_b02c57e1-6807-40e5-bb23-df6df3b25488.jpg?v=1778520731","url":"https:\/\/africadirect.com\/products\/mixed-venetian-trade-beads-32inch-154843","provider":"Africa Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
