About Trade Beads:

Trade Beads are decorative beads created in Venice, Bohemia, and other European countries between the late 1400s and early 1900s. They were used as currency in trade with Africa and the Americas, exchanged for goods such as gold, ivory, and fur. The peak of Trade Bead production occurred between the mid-1800s and early 1900s, with millions of beads produced and exported to Africa, primarily from Venice.
