This name comes from West Africa, where these vibrant beads are worn during the Christmas season. This selection includes antique beads from various origins, such as Venice, Bohemia, and the Netherlands. Despite their vivid hues, these beads are approximately 100 years old! The red beads are antique beads called "White Hearts." They get their name from the white core visible at their center. These are Venetian beads from the 19th to 20th century, with a charming amber hue and slight color variations, featuring a sharp, cross-sectioned shape. The blue beads alongside the White Hearts are antique Chevron beads, crafted in Venice in the early 20th century. Chevron beads, meaning "mountain shape" in English (known as Rosetta in Italian), are often referred to as the "aristocrats of beads." These are small, charmingly sized Chevron beads.
