Historically, trade beads served as decorative glass currency from the 16th to 20th centuries, exchanged for valuable local goods such as oil and gold. These beads, primarily slices from longer tubes, reflect a traditional African practice of cutting larger beads for aesthetic appeal or to divide value into smaller portions. Ideal for collectors or crafting delicate jewelry pieces . See less
