Vintage Dangle African Earrings

Vintage Dangle African Earrings These long drop earrings are made with blue and grey striped Venetian "watermelon" beads. Watermelon beads were made in the 19th century and traded in Ghana (and other African countries). Intact beads do not often surface in American markets and so only one pair of these earrings is available.   In a previous life, these beautiful beads were well used and handled. You may find variances in these earrings such as tiny scratches and dings.   Earrings Stats: An at-a-glance list of the most important things you need to know when deciding if these earrings are ones you need in your life.
