Discover the beauty of our translucent powder glass African trade beads, skillfully handmade by the talented artisans of Kroboland in Ghana, West Africa. These exquisite beads imitate the appearance of old Venetian glass trade beads, adding a touch of history and elegance to any jewelry piece.

  • Strand Length: Approximately 20" (51 cm)
  • Bead Size: 11 mm in diameter

Each bead is meticulously crafted by hand, ensuring that your strand will be as unique as the craftsmanship behind it. YOUR STRAND WILL BE IDENTICAL TO THE STRAND SHOWN IN THE PHOTOGRAPH (GIVEN NORMAL VARIATION SINCE THESE BEADS ARE ALL COMPLETELY HANDMADE).

The creation of these beautiful beads involves a traditional technique practiced by the Krobo people of Ghana. They use recycled glass and bottles, crushing them into a fine powder before molding and firing them into stunning beads. This eco-friendly process not only preserves the environment but also sustains the rich cultural heritage of African trade beads.

Trade beads have played a significant role in the history and culture of Ghana and Africa, serving as a medium of exchange and a symbol of wealth and social status. These beads are not just decorative items but are imbued with cultural significance and history.
