This little blue bead has a very special history...The beads were carried into Mali by early Dutch traders. These treasured antique heirloom beads were often used by Dogon people as Dowry currency or bride wealth. They were passed down through generations of Dogon women for over 200 years. We wire wrap them with 14k gold wire and are strung onto a 14k gold chain. Available on a 16" or 18" chain.
