Wampum Glass Trade Beads

These mini glass wampum beads come in Black, White and Greasy Yellow. These Wampum Beads measure 5 mm – 6mm long (that’s just over 1/8″). You will find them ideal for 18th century reproduction work.

Bead makers produced beads like these in Europe in the 1700s. Traders brought them to North America. Native American crafters used these glass beads in place of actual Quahog Shell Wampum beads.

We sell them by the ounce (approx. 125 beads per ounce for Black and White, 180 for Greasy Yellow) and the 1/2 Kilo (17 ounces). Our current stock of Black and White is on the longer side. They do not have rounded ends and the sizes do vary in length and width.
