Ethiopian JEWELLERY and AFRICAN TRADE BEADS
ethiopia.com.au is excited to bring you a range of beautiful jewellery
directly from Ethiopia and other parts of Africa, and jewellery we have
created using African Trade Beads sourced from across the African
continent.
We have one of the largest collections of African Trade Beads in
Australia. Our rare glass beads came from Venice and Bohemia in the period
1880-1920, and were traded into Africa in exchange for gold and other
commodities, and then used as currency across the north of Africa. Many
made their way into Ethiopia.
Below is a selection of our necklaces using a mixture of these African Trade Beads,
old and new silver, and some new Czech glass. Necklaces and earrings
can be made to order from our range of these superb old beads. We
also have a complete range of necklaces made from all the recognised
birthstones for the 12 months of the year. They will appear together
with our extensive range of trade beads and trade bead necklaces in
August.
