Introducing our beautiful strand of NEW translucent powder glass African beads, masterfully crafted by the talented artisans of Kroboland in Ghana, West Africa. These beads are designed to imitate old Venetian glass trade beads, showcasing a blend of tradition and elegance.
- Strand Length: Approximately 21" (53.5 cm)
- Bead Size: 10 - 11 mm in diameter
Each bead is made from recycled glass bottles and other glass items, which are crushed into a fine powder. This powder is then meticulously placed into molds to create these stunning beads. The entire process is 100% handmade, ensuring each bead is unique.
