From Tibetian to Venetian, these glass beads are lovely to behold and can be bought with minimal investment. I found some of mine at Bead and Gemstone shows- most of the ones shown here were purchased through a fair trade agreement that provides the tribal bead makers a fair payment for their wares. This is a grand reason to purchase them and another is that beautiful artisan jewelry can be made with your fair purchase!
The range of cost can run from $10.00 a strand to over hundreds for one ancient collectible bead. Some of my collection are ancient beads that have fascinating histories and many are simply beautiful handmade.
Here are a collection of African Krobo's and Venetian chevrons, gooseberries and white hearts that I photographed for fun:
