Product Details

Vintage 1-of-1 Venetian Trading Beads from the year 1870.

In the late 1800s, artisans in Venice—especially Murano—crafted intricate glass beads using centuries-old techniques like millefiori.

By the 1870s, these beads were traded across West Africa, where they held real value—used as currency, worn in ceremonies, and passed down as symbols of status and identity.
