Tradebeads necklace (blue, brown, white) from Ghana
This tradebeads necklace in blue, brown and white is from Ghana. Tradebeads necklaces are a traditional form of jewelry that have their origins in the long history of trade and craft in West Africa, particularly in Ghana. These necklaces are often made of colorful glass beads.
Trade beads were originally produced in Europe, particularly in countries such as Venice and the Netherlands. They were used as a medium of exchange for goods such as gold and ivory. They were used in African societies not only as jewelry, but also had symbolic and social meanings, such as marking status, wealth, or tribal identity.
Ghanaian tradebeads necklaces can have different designs and patterns, depending on the region, the ethnic group, and the taste of the designer. Some necklaces are simple in design, while others have more elaborate and intricate patterns.
