Introducing a beautiful matching strand of new powder glass African beads, meticulously handcrafted by the talented artisans of Kroboland in Ghana, West Africa. These beads are designed to imitate old Venetian disk trade beads, offering a touch of history and elegance to your collection.

  • Strand Length: 24 1/4" (61.5 cm)
  • Bead Size: 13 - 14 mm in diameter

These stunning beads are made from recycled bottles and other glass items, which are crushed into a fine powder. This powder is then carefully placed into molds and fired to create the exquisite beads you see here. Each bead is 100% handmade, ensuring that every strand is unique and full of character.

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

The Krobo people of Ghana have perfected the art of bead-making over generations, using traditional techniques that are both sustainable and artistically rich. Recycled glass beads play a significant role in African trade, serving not just as beautiful ornaments but also as symbols of culture and history. The process of making these beads involves crushing recycled glass and bottles into a fine powder, which is then meticulously molded and fired. This method highlights the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the Krobo artisans, making each bead a testament to their craftsmanship and heritage.
