The rich color of these original and true vintage Jijida beads is absolutely stunning. It is a deep black color with a gorgeous matte finish, not super glossy or plastic looking as the newer beads in the market are. As mentioned, these are NOT the new record beads they sell at such low prices. These are vintage beads that have been truly made by the hands of African artisans. Each strand is approximately 29 inches strung in a loop as pictured and beads are between 6 to 6.5mm in diameter.

They are made in Africa from a material called Vulcanite or Phono Records, used to make vinyl records and popularly known as vinyl record beads. They are one of my favorite beads, full of colors and history and known in Mali as Jigida beads, commonly used to shape the women's waist. This vinyl record bead strand is shipped as shown in the pictures, strung in a loop NOt loose beads in a bag, just as they're used and traded in Africa. Please check all pictures and zoom in for details.

These are almost too beautiful to use... almost. They're so smooth and gorgeous and shiny that I keep running my fingers through them, like the treasure they are... but they'll make a gorgeous trim on my "mermaid bag", made with the beautiful aquamarine tilapia leather I bought these with.
