Also known as Cornaline D’Aleppo due to their resemblance to the Carnelian Stone of Aleppo Syria, these distinctive beads are characterized by a white core surrounded by a sometimes semi-translucent layer of colored glass. White Heart beads were traded far and wide from the shores of West Africa to the frontiers of the New World. Sometimes referred to as Hudson Bay Beads, the White Heart was reputedly traded by Traders, Trappers, and Explorers with the Native Tribes of North America during the 1800's. Historically, white heart beads were produced in a number of sizes, shapes, and even colors. Today, authentic Venetian White Heart Beads are hard to find and highly coveted by collectors, especially the Mountain Man community. This antique strand has passed through many hands and traversed many continents. This strand measures approximately 27"" long with a total of 65 beads measuring 9 x 8mm in diameter. Individual beads will show signs of wear and use due to age. Each strand is unique and may vary slightly from photo.
