About Trade Beads:

Trade Beads were produced in Venice, Bohemia, and other European countries from the late 1400s to the early 1900s for trading with Africa and the Americas. These beads were exchanged for gold, ivory, slaves, and furs. The peak of trade bead production occurred from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, during which millions of beads were manufactured and exported to Africa, mostly from Venice.
