Discover the beauty of our stunning translucent powder glass African trade beads, meticulously handcrafted by the talented artisans of Kroboland in Ghana, West Africa. These exquisite beads imitate the classic style of old Venetian glass trade beads, offering a unique blend of tradition and elegance.
- Strand Length: Approximately 22.5" (57 cm) long
- Bead Size: 13 - 14 mm in diameter
Each bead is crafted from recycled glass bottles and other glass items, ground into a fine powder and then molded into beautiful, translucent beads. The process is entirely handmade, ensuring each strand is unique and vibrant.
YOUR STRAND WILL BE IDENTICAL TO THE STRAND SHOWN IN THE PHOTOGRAPH (GIVEN NORMAL VARIATION SINCE THESE BEADS ARE ALL COMPLETELY HANDMADE).
The Krobo people of Ghana have been creating these recycled glass beads for generations, utilizing a technique that involves crushing recycled glass into a fine powder, which is then carefully heated and molded. These beads are not only a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the Krobo artisans but also hold significant cultural and historical importance in African trade.
