Discover the beauty of traditional African craftsmanship with this stunning strand of translucent powder glass beads, handmade by the skilled artisans of Kroboland, Ghana. Inspired by antique Venetian trade beads, these exquisite beads are crafted using centuries-old techniques, making each strand truly unique.
- Strand Length: Approximately 20 1/2" (52 cm) long
- Bead Size: 11 - 12 mm in diameter
- Handmade: 100% handcrafted by Krobo artisans
YOUR STRAND WILL BE IDENTICAL TO THE STRAND SHOWN IN THE PHOTOGRAPH (GIVEN NORMAL VARIATION SINCE THESE BEADS ARE ALL COMPLETELY HANDMADE).
These Krobo glass beads are made using a fascinating recycling process. Artisans crush discarded glass bottles into a fine powder, then carefully shape and fire them in hand-built clay kilns. This eco-friendly method has been passed down for generations, preserving both Ghanaian culture and sustainability.
Trade beads like these have played a significant role in Africa’s history, used for barter, decoration, and cultural expression. Today, they remain cherished for their beauty, authenticity, and historical significance.
