    WHITE TRADE BEADS with BLUE & BROWN SPOTS
    String of 47 Handmade Glass Beads
    Great Beads to Use when Crafting Your Own Jewelry!
    This is a string of vintage glass trade beads that are off-white in color, many with dark blue and brown spots. When I searched for similar beads online, I found none like these, so perhaps they are not common.
    A relative of mine who traveled and worked in various countries in the world, including
    Africa
    , gave these to me years ago.
    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”.
    MEASUREMENTS:
    Raffia strand of 47 beads
    Beads vary, so I measured one at random:
    about 2 cm long x 12 mm inside width
    Watch my auctions for more trade beads, necklaces, brooches, etc. from my collection that will be listed in future.
