Hello,

I recently came across this strand of African Trade Beads and I'm wondering if anyone knows any information about these. They appear to be yellow sandcast. Does anyone have idea of approximate value?

Thank you so much in advance.

Amanda

My guess is these are in the 20 - 40 year old range, not terribly expensive, what the buyer is willing to pay, really.

modern Krobo powder glass beads, probably 1990's to current production, without a good size reference it is hard to guesstimate the value....but these are tourist type items, full retail on a complete strand would be under $50......I have sold similar for under $5 per bead

Thank you very much for the insight. There is a strand on eBay right now selling for $175. I will pass. I do have one in my collection that I believe is a bit more valuable. At least, I am hoping. Thought on this?

Watch shown for size.

Sometimes, I'm forced to make it quick and easy when I have only a few beads to choose from.

Thank you very much for the compliments.

Normally, I attempt to design only one or two necklaces each year.
Actually. I spend most of my time trying to find artistic individual beads in excellent condition.

More often -for me- it takes at least three times the beads used and countless hours to put a necklace together.
And this was one of only a few times in my bead life when things seemed to fall into place naturally.
