I'm selling off some of my collection of unusual beads to make some space in my workshop, so if you love beads, please take a look

These trade beads are becoming very rare and there is an interesting mix here. The beads are quite chunky so I thought they would be better suited to a man or a woman with a slightly larger wrist.

Full description

This one-off bracelet is made up of beads from Africa: some rare old trade beads sent out from Venice between the 1880s and 1920s to be used as currency. There are also some recycled glass beads from Ghana.

Condition: As these trade beads have 'lived rough' for over a century they bear the scars of their journey in small chips which speak of their well travelled history and in no way detract from their beauty today. Likewise, the contemporary beads are made in small workshops with very basic equipment and, though not 'perfect' have a very special charm of their own.

Size: The bracelet is adjustable so can be worn by men or women but this one is designed for a slightly larger wrist, pulling in to a minimum of 7.5".

Presentation: Your bracelet will be sent in a presentation bag ready to give to someone special (or to keep for yourself ).

Gifts: I can send to another address and include a handwritten message if requested.

Postage: I can usually post within 24 hours and postage is free.

Environment: All of my outer packaging is either recycled or reusable.
