About Bohemian Molded Beads & Their Role in Trade

These exquisite Czech vulcanite beads were molded in Czechoslovakia, a region renowned for its glassmaking and bead production since the 1600s. The beads were crafted using a molding technique that allowed artisans to create intricate and uniform designs, which were then polished for a refined finish.

Czech beads played a significant role in African trade, particularly in Ghana and West Africa, where they were used as currency and symbols of wealth and status. Traders highly valued these beads, and they became an integral part of traditional African adornments and ceremonial regalia.
