White Heart Trade Bead Droplets

These earrings feature rare large handmade glass beads. Designed and made by Beyond Buckskin owner Jessica R. Metcalfe (Turtle Mountain Chippewa).

Also known as "Cornaline D'Allepo" or "Hudson's Bay" beads, white heart beads were traded extensively throughout North America from the earliest times. These beautiful, French and Czech made white heart beads are transparent cherry red glass over a solid white core - which causes the red to change hues in different light. This item ships from the US.
