Seller's description

Specifications

Discover the vibrant artistry of Ghana with this stunning medley of Krobo and recycled glass beads—a perfect fusion of tradition, sustainability, and beauty. Each strand features a mix of powder glass Krobo beads, fused recycled glass beads, and translucent glass accents, handcrafted by the skilled artisans of Krobo Mountain in West Africa.

Made from recycled bottles and glass, these beads are ground into powder, poured into clay molds, and fired in earthen ovens using time-honored techniques. Some beads are further decorated by hand with colorful glass pastes before being fired a second time, creating their one-of-a-kind patterns and vibrant hues.

Each strand measures approximately 30 inches long, with individual beads measuring approximately 3-31 x 10-15mm and a 2-3mm hole size, ideal for jewelry design or statement décor. No two strands are ever the same—each one carries its own personality, color balance, and handmade charm.

Bring authentic African craftsmanship and eco-conscious artistry to your designs with this unique strand of Krobo & Recycled Glass Beads.

Bead Size: 3-31 x 10-15mm
Strand Length: 30"
Approximate # of Beads: 71
Hole Size: 2-3mm
