Bright, beautifully colored glass trade beads with an occasional plastic spacer bead. Originally made in southern Spain, Venice, and Czechoslovakia especially for the African trade.

We have always called these love beads, but they are also known as Christmas beads.
They measure 16 ¼", 17", 16 ¾" and 18 ¼" from top to bottom, so can easily fit over the head.
