About Trade Beads:
Trade Beads were created between the late 1400s and early 1900s in regions such as Venice, Bohemia, and other European countries. These beads were traded with the African and American continents for goods like gold, ivory, and fur, as well as slaves. The peak production period of trade beads was from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, during which millions of beads were produced and exported primarily to Africa. Most of these beads were manufactured in Venice.
