- Mosaic trade beads are instantly mesmerizing It can take a little longer to appreciate the beads African traders call "Good Beads", meaning valuable. They are more subtle, older and bear some scars, but their subtle beauty endures.
- I'm rediscovering my appreciation for them as I prepare this launch, and have started designing with them again. I love how easily the various sizes, shapes and colors combine so harmoniously.
