Handmade African Beaded Bracelet – Glass Trade Beads

Experience the beauty of authentic African craftsmanship with this exquisite handmade beaded bracelet. Designed with stunning Krobo glass beads, this bracelet pays homage to the historical Venetian fancy trade beads that once circulated across West Africa. Each bead is meticulously handcrafted, offering a unique blend of tradition and contemporary style.

  • Inner Circumference (Unstretched): 7" (18 cm)
  • Comfortable Fit: Up to 8" (20 cm) wrist
  • Bead Size: 8 - 11 mm in diameter

Strung on a durable elastic stretch cord, this bracelet effortlessly slips onto your wrist, providing a comfortable and flexible fit. The beads are crafted from recycled glass bottles, which are crushed into a fine powder, placed in molds, and fired in a traditional firewood kiln. This sustainable process gives new life to discarded materials while preserving the artistry of Krobo bead-making.

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

The Art of Krobo Bead-Making

These remarkable beads are made using traditional Ghanaian techniques passed down for generations. The Krobo people of Ghana are renowned for their intricate glass bead-making process, which involves grinding recycled glass into fine powder and carefully molding it into vibrant beads. This art form has been integral to African culture, symbolizing wealth, trade, and social status.

Trade beads have played a crucial role in Ghana’s history, serving as a means of commerce and cultural expression. Today, they continue to represent heritage, creativity, and sustainable craftsmanship.
