Discover the beauty of our NEW translucent powder glass African beads, meticulously crafted by the skilled artisans of Kroboland in Ghana, West Africa. These stunning beads are designed to imitate the timeless elegance of old Venetian glass trade beads, offering a unique blend of tradition and artistry.
- Strand length: 20 1/2" (52 cm)
- Bead size: 11 - 12 mm in diameter
Each bead is carefully handmade from recycled bottles and other glass items, which are crushed into a fine powder, then poured into molds to create these exquisite beads.
Your strand will be identical to the strand shown in the photograph (given normal variation since these beads are all completely handmade).
The production of these recycled powder glass beads is a testament to the ingenuity and cultural heritage of the Krobo people in Ghana. By transforming discarded glass into beautiful beads, they not only create stunning jewelry but also contribute to sustainable practices. African trade beads hold significant historical and cultural importance, symbolizing trade and communication across the continent for centuries.
