Antique Venetian African Trade Bead Necklace

Antique Venetian African Trade Bead Necklace

This Rich Strand of  Antique Venetian Trade Beads is a Fine Miniature Collection Unto Itself... 

Among them are 19th C, yellow Bodom style beads, rare old black and white eye beads, natural bauxite, and antique white-hearts long appreciated by tribal peoples and contemporary collectors. A handmade stamped silver toggle clasp from Thailand and rosewood prayer beads from Burma add to the eclectic mix. The sterling bee charm is a signature used by Deborah Garner on original designs. This one of a kind necklace measures 22" long and is suitable for men and women.
