Product Information

Antique Fulani Peul bridal necklace made of hundreds of shimmering antique glass beads and shells strung on copper wire.

These magnificent colorful necklaces are worn by Fulani and Peul women during wedding ceremonies.

These beautiful glass beads were produced in Europe from the early to mid-20th century and traded in Africa through colonial trade routes in exchange for local goods.

As the largest nomadic group in the world, the Fulani are mostly traders, known for their deep respect for beauty.

A value that is reflected in their jewelry.
