Translucent Powderglass African Beads - 20" Strand - Handmade in Ghana

Discover the beauty of Krobo glass beads with this stunning strand of translucent powderglass beads, expertly handcrafted by the skilled artisans of Kroboland in Ghana, West Africa. These beads are designed to imitate the exquisite old Bohemian/Czech flower glass trade beads, offering a unique blend of tradition and elegance.

  • Strand Length: 20" (50.5 cm)
  • Bead Size: 9 mm in diameter

These beads are made from recycled glass bottles and other glass items, which are crushed into a fine powder. This powder is then poured into molds and fired to create these beautiful, translucent beads. Each bead is 100% handmade, ensuring that every strand is unique and full of character.

YOUR STRAND WILL BE IDENTICAL TO THE STRAND SHOWN IN THE PHOTOGRAPH (GIVEN NORMAL VARIATION SINCE THESE BEADS ARE ALL COMPLETELY HANDMADE).

The technique used by the Krobo people to produce these beads is both fascinating and environmentally friendly. By recycling glass materials, they create stunning beads that are not only beautiful but also sustainable. The process involves crushing the glass into powder, filling molds, and heating them in kilns. This age-old method highlights the rich cultural heritage and craftsmanship of Ghanaian artisans.

Trade beads have played a significant role in African history, serving as currency and symbols of wealth and status. Today, these beads are cherished for their beauty and cultural significance, making them a perfect addition to any collection or jewelry project.
