  • New individually handmade recycled glass beads from Ghana, red/orange
    21-inch strand with 46
  • Perforations about 2mm, and the colors work well together
  • These beads have a distinctive hand-made quality, with lots of variations.
  • These are yet another form of powder glass beads, made by the Krobo people of Ghana, who also make the fused donuts and the rondelles
  • The process of making these round beads is a little different, once the powdered glass in the mold starts to melt it's removed from the furnace, and each bead is stirred into a more or less round shape.
  • The Krobo have traditionally been great consumers of beads, and today they are probably the most prolific makers in Africa, coming out with new designs almost every year.
