The people of Krobo in Ghana use an intricate and traditional method to produce these recycled powder glass beads.

This powder is carefully molded into beads and fired in a kiln to create their beautiful translucent finish.
Trade beads have played a significant role in the cultural and economic history of Ghana and Africa. They were historically used as a form of currency and continue to be a symbol of artistic heritage and cultural identity.
