ALASKAN NATIVE AMERICAN TRADE BEADS STRAND NECKLACE COBALT BLUE RUSSIAN BLUES
$5,000.00
$4,220.00
| Russian/Czech blue faceted trade beads - approximately 120-inch-long strand! I counted 422 beads twice. $10 per bead. The story behind these beads:
I am selling them for an 80+ year old widow in my church. Her grandfather, who was a navy doctor, brought them back from deployment to Alaska in the 1800s where he purchased them from Russian traders. They were given to her in a single strand as a child and she's had them since. They have not been added to or subtracted from since brought home last century.
