Hand stamped layers of sterling silver hangs from these electric blue chevrons trade beads. Dating back to the early 1400's in Murano, Italy, these beads were traded, worn, given as gifts. I started out my jewelry making love by working in a bead store where I got a really good eduation on all things beadwork. These trade beads hold a special place in my heart.
