Vertebrae Trade Beads & Ostrich Shell Trade Beads

Vertebrae Trade Beads Are Among Our Most Unusual Beads

Crafted in Africa using the vertebrae of a fish, these popular beads can be combined with colorful beads or mixed with wood beads. Ostrich shell beads are thin discs of shell that make great spacers with lampwork glass beads or pearls.
