Discover the beauty and cultural significance of our unique strand of NEW African disks/spacers glass beads, meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans from the Krobo region in Ghana, West Africa. These stunning beads are made from recycled tiny seed glass beads, creating a vibrant and eco-friendly piece of jewelry.

  • Strand Length: Approximately 20 1/2" (52 cm) of beads
  • Bead Size: 10 - 11 mm in diameter

Each bead is 100% handmade.

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

The intricate process of creating these Krobo recycled fused glass beads involves several traditional steps:

  1. Collection and Preparation: Artisans collect small seed glass beads and clean them thoroughly.
  2. Molding: The small glass beads are carefully placed into clay molds, determining the final shape and size of the larger beads.
  3. Firing: The molds are placed in a kiln and fired at high temperatures, fusing the small beads together to form larger, solid beads.
  4. Finishing: Once cooled, the beads are removed from the molds and often polished to smooth out any rough edges.

These vibrant beads not only showcase intricate patterns and rich colors but also hold cultural significance in Ghanaian society. They are often used in ceremonies and symbolize status and identity, making them a meaningful addition to any collection.
