Introducing a beautiful new strand of uncommon color translucent powder glass African beads, meticulously handcrafted by the talented artisans of Kroboland in Ghana, West Africa. These beads imitate the old Venetian glass trade beads, bringing a touch of historical elegance to your collection.
- Strand Length: 22 1/2" (57 cm)
- Bead Size: 13 mm in diameter
Each bead is made from recycled glass bottles and other glass items that are crushed into a fine powder. This powder is then carefully poured into molds and fired to create these stunning beads. The process is 100% handmade, ensuring each bead's uniqueness and authenticity.
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 recycled powder glass beads is a testament to the ingenuity and artistry of the Krobo people. By transforming discarded glass into beautiful beads, they not only produce exquisite jewelry components but also contribute to environmental sustainability. These beads have a rich history and cultural significance in Ghana and across Africa, often used in ceremonies, rituals, and as a form of currency in trade.
