【Button Works】White Hearts Anklet【Red Beads】 BW-0193

"Beads that have captivated humanity for centuries"

White Hearts were born in the 17th century on the island of Murano in Venice, Italy. By layering colored glass over a white core, these beads achieve a vibrant, deep radiance.
During the 19th century, they were brought to the Americas as "trade beads" used as currency, eventually becoming deeply rooted in Native American culture.
This special edition utilizes premium Czech-made White Hearts, finished with an original Button Works concho. It is more than an accessory; it is a wearable piece of heritage.

"The Ultimate Fusion: Czech White Hearts, Turquoise, and Conchos"

This luxurious piece pairs Czech-made White Hearts beads with an original Button Works concho, finished with metal beads accents.
Five different concho designs are available, allowing you to choose the style that best suits your preference.

For Native Americans, "Red" has always been a sacred color. Because White Hearts appeared to them as a heart filled with life-giving blood, they were embraced as powerful amulets and protective charms to ward off evil.
Today, these beads remain a vital part of their heritage, used in ceremonial dress and necklaces to signify the unique identity of each tribe. More than just an ornament, each bead carries a legacy of spirit and protection.
