    AFRICAN BLACK & WHITE SWIRL TRADE BEADS
    String of 13 Handmade Glass Beads
    Great beads for adding pizzazz to jewelry crafts!
    This string of 13 handmade beads includes 6 round beads and 7 oblong beads.
    These are glossy black glass beads with a white swirl design; the stripes on the round beads look a little bluish in color. Being handmade, there is some variety to shape and size.
    MEASUREMENTS:
    Oblong beads – about 4 cm long x 1 cm inside width
    Round beads – about 1 cm x 1 cm
    These vintage trade beads were a gift years ago from a relative who traveled and worked throughout
    Africa
    and other places in the world.
    If you are interested in old trade beads and ethnic jewelry, check my auctions for future listings; I guess you could call mine a “living estate sale”.
    Watch my auctions for more trade beads, necklaces, brooches, etc. from my collection that will be listed in future.
    Please look at the photos & item description & ask questions before bidding.
