Trade Beads

Are you a bead collector? Check out one of these trade beads from Africa. Trade beads are true to their name. They were an important part of currency used in trade between Africans and Europeans. The Europeans loaded their ships with beads and "trinkets", among them these beads, and traded them in Africa for gold, coffee and natural resources. The trade started in the 1500's from Venice, Amsterdam and Prague, and petered out around 1950. These beads are mostly from the period of 1880 to 1940 leaving great authenticity and beauty.


Yemen Silver

We have a lovely selection of handcrafted Yemen silver. Silver beads great for complementing the right necklace, or Yemen prayer boxes (most are signed and stamped).
