African Beaded Jewelry

727 items

Discover NOVICA's African Beaded Jewelry Collection. Dating back over 75,000 years, snail shells, used as beads, have been found in Africa. At one time referred to as trade beads because of their use as currency, beads have always had a cultural significance beyond self-adornment in Africa. Today's African jewelry makers use a wide variety of bead materials in their necklaces, bracelets and earrings such as recycled glass, wood and other sustainable materials.

Beautiful wrist adornment

I wish that I had purchased more jewelry items when I was in Ghana. So happy to see that Novica represents artists from this region! This is made of really nice beads and is typical of the colors one would see there.
