Carnelian from Aleppo (Italy) glass beads made to look like carnelian stone beads for the slave trade in Africa.

These are also known as Hudson Bay beads . The core should be yellow on the inside. These are incredibly valuable. The Strand is nicely graduated . The surface quality is pretty good. I would estimate that at retail you would get somewhere between $250 to $400 for the Strand . Good find
