Ethiopian Strand of Beads

Round white beads, strung to wear or to hang.

Ethiopia, East Africa, is the origin of this strand of glass beads in white. Glass bead strands are commonly worn as necklaces across the region and are traded between communities. The beads are uniformly round, with a milky, slightly glossy surface and small variations in size. The strand closes at the top with a small knot and a hint of purple at the fastening.

One continuous loop, a little brighter than its neighbor. Simple, and always in season. A good piece to layer with others.
