A beautiful strand of new translucent powder glass African beads, made by the skilled artisans of Kroboland in Ghana, West Africa. These beads imitate the elegance of old Venetian glass trade beads, offering a unique touch to any jewelry creation.

  • Strand Length: Approximately 21" (53 cm)
  • Bead Size: 13 - 14 mm in diameter

These beads are crafted from recycled glass bottles and other glass items, which are crushed into a fine powder. This powder is then carefully molded to create these exquisite beads. Each bead is 100% handmade, ensuring a unique and authentic touch to your collection.

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

Technique and Cultural Significance

The Krobo people of Ghana are renowned for their bead-making expertise. Using traditional techniques passed down through generations, they transform recycled glass into stunning beads. This process not only showcases their artistic heritage but also promotes sustainable practices.

Trade beads have played a significant role in African history, serving as a medium of exchange and a symbol of social status. These Krobo glass beads continue this rich tradition, connecting modern craftsmanship with historical significance.
