Discover the exquisite beauty of our Translucent Recycled Krobo Glass Beads, handcrafted by the talented artisans of Kroboland in Ghana, West Africa. These beads are crafted to imitate the elegance of old Venetian glass trade beads, showcasing a seamless blend of tradition and artistry.
- Strand Length: 21" (53 cm)
- Bead Size: 12-13 mm in diameter
These remarkable beads are created from recycled bottles and other glass items. The glass is meticulously crushed into a fine powder, then carefully molded to produce these stunning beads. Each bead is a testament to the skill and dedication of the Krobo people, ensuring that your strand is unique and eco-friendly.
YOUR STRAND WILL BE IDENTICAL TO THE STRAND SHOWN IN THE PHOTOGRAPH (GIVEN NORMAL VARIATION SINCE THESE BEADS ARE ALL COMPLETELY HANDMADE).
The Krobo artisans employ traditional techniques passed down through generations. They crush recycled glass into powder, which is then poured into molds and fired in kilns. This age-old method not only preserves the cultural heritage but also promotes sustainability by repurposing discarded glass. Trade beads like these have played a significant role in the history of African trade, symbolizing wealth, status, and artistic expression across the continent.
