This is a one of a kind strand of big European made antique coral glass African trade beads. These are very old hand manufactured beads of European origin that were used to trade for goods in Africa in the 18th and 19th and even the very early 20th century. Trade beads have been used since the 15th century and have been found all over the world! These large beads are bright and colorful and exact color and shape of each is unique, but they are all of similar style. Please see all pictures for condition and color variation. Great for making unique statement jewelry! 51 large beads, on a strand approximately 24 inches long (about 27 inches total with roped section). Fantastic find in true antique coral glass trade beads.
