Description: New Handmade African Spindle Whorl Trade Bead Necklace approximately .5 - 1 inch beads with 17-18 inches cord This is a unique African trade bead necklace with most of the beads being hand made in Africa, some of recycled materials. It features clay spindle whorls, originally used in spinning yarn or thread. In true African fashion, even these lowly objects were designed creatively, and it didn't take long to recognize the decorative aspect of them. Nowadays the jewelry is worn by men, women, and children on the continent and around the world. Each piece or bead is created in a variety of ways and with a multitude of materials. Beads may include glass, metal, clay, ebony wood, resin, and heishi. They are formed through carving, metal work, lost wax, recycling glass, and firing. They close with a simple hook and loop. Add style to your wardrobe or someone elses! To see Tuareg designs, please visit our collection.
