Stunning Vintage Glass Snake Trade Beads Necklace / Wrap Bracelet 16” Up for sale is a beautiful, authentic strand of vintage glass snake trade beads, masterfully styled into a wearable necklace or multi-wrap bracelet. These distinct molded glass beads feature a classic interlocking zig-zag (chevron) shape, expertly designed to slot into one another just like a snake’s vertebrae.Originally manufactured in Czechoslovakia (and sometimes France) in the late 19th to early 20th century, these unique beads were widely used as currency in the historical West African bead trade. Today, they are highly sought after by collectors and jewelry designers alike for their fluid movement, rich textures, and historical charm.
