History & Craftsmanship
Kiffa beads, also known as Murakad beads, are one of Africa’s most prized glass beads. Originating from Mauritania, these beads are made using a unique method that involves crushed glass, natural binders, and intricate hand-painted designs. Unlike modern glasswork, Kiffa artisans use no kilns—only small clay pots and the heat of the sun to create these vibrant, delicate pieces.
The stunning mix of polychrome, red, and blue hues makes this set a rare find. Whether you are a collector, jewelry designer, or an admirer of African trade beads, these are a must-have addition to your collection.
