Vintage Ghana Christmas Beads – Carnival Multi-Color African Glass Beads (36” Strand)

These vibrant Ghana Christmas beads are a joyful mix of colorful African glass beads traditionally known as “Christmas beads.” Originally made in former Czechoslovakia and traded throughout West Africa, these vintage beads were widely worn and treasured across the region.

Each strand is a playful assortment of shapes, colors, and textures — including tiny rounds, rondelles, and slender tubes. Their festive mix of colors gives them their nickname “Christmas beads,” though they are perfect for jewelry year-round.

Every strand is unique and filled with personality, making them ideal for statement necklaces or creative jewelry designs.
