Yellow & Black Cross Trade Beads – 13.5 × 14.5mm

Two colors. Maximum graphic impact.

A brilliant yellow ground meets sweeping black-and-light linear detailing in these distinctive Cross Trade Beads, creating a high-contrast pattern with exceptional visual rhythm. At approximately 13.5 × 14.5mm, they are made for designers who want bold color, graphic definition and statement-making presence.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

These yellow and black Cross Trade Beads turn contrast into the design language.

Unlike multicolor Cross Trade Beads, this variation uses a dramatically restrained palette: a vivid yellow ground visually dominated by dark intersecting lines, with lighter bordering visible along portions of the linework. The result is graphic, energetic and remarkably easy to coordinate.

Across the strand, the lines curve, cross and change direction from bead to bead. That variation creates movement while the tightly controlled palette keeps the overall composition cohesive.

At approximately 13.5 × 14.5mm, these beads have enough scale to become the principal design element in a necklace or bracelet. They can also serve as patterned anchors within mixed African bead compositions, where their yellow ground introduces color and the dark linework provides definition.

Pair them with muted golden African brass for warmth, black components for dramatic continuity, or contrasting Krobo glass beads when building a broader color story.

These Cross Trade Beads were sourced by Aadampo in Ghana but were not manufactured in Ghana. Their exact country of manufacture remains unverified.

Selected by Aadampo African Beads for jewelry designers, makers, brands, bead stores and creative professionals seeking distinctive trade beads with strong visual identity.
