The Venezia Bracelet is also available in red, turquoise, green, blue, white and black. Ideal for stacking! Also look for coordinating Cascata Earrings.
Length: 7 1/4" (18.5 cm) including a sterling silver triple-strand hook-and-eye clasp.
*** about Mozambique Island Trade Beads ***
A historical trading center with ties to Arabia, Persia and India, Mozambique Island was settled by the Portuguese shortly after Vasco da Gama's arrival in 1548. In 1558, it was named the capital of Portuguese East Africa.
Over the years, dozens of ships sank off the island, spilling such trade items as pottery, glass beads, ivory and coins into the shallow waters of the Indian Ocean. Today, at low tide, local boys dig in the exposed sand flats for the remnants of these treasures. The beads used in this design were purchased directly from the boys on the island, as they are not available commercially.
