Discover the beauty of authentic 13mm translucent Krobo glass beads, handmade by the skilled artisans of Kroboland in Ghana, West Africa. These stunning beads imitate the classic style of old Venetian glass trade beads, making them a unique addition to any collection.

  • Bead Size: Approximately 13 mm in diameter
  • Strand Length: Approximately 23" (58.5 cm) long

Crafted from recycled glass bottles and other glass items, these beads are formed by crushing the glass into a fine powder, which is then carefully molded into beautiful, translucent beads. Each bead is 100% handmade, showcasing the remarkable craftsmanship and tradition of the Krobo people.

YOUR STRAND 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

The Krobo people of Ghana have perfected the art of bead-making over generations. This meticulous process involves crushing recycled glass into a fine powder, which is then placed into molds and heated in a kiln. Once cooled, the beads are polished to achieve their distinctive shine and translucence. These beads are not only a testament to the Krobo artisans' skill but also play a significant role in African trade and cultural heritage.

Embrace a piece of African tradition and add these exquisite Krobo glass beads to your collection today.
