Handmade African Beaded Bracelet - Authentic Krobo Glass Trade Beads
Experience the beauty of African craftsmanship with this stunning handmade beaded bracelet. Created by the talented artisans of Kroboland, Ghana, this bracelet features vibrant glass beads that skillfully imitate the classic Venetian fancy trade beads. Each bead is carefully crafted using traditional techniques passed down through generations, making every bracelet a unique work of art.
- Bracelet Size: Approximately 7" (17.5 cm) inner circumference (unstretched), fits wrists up to 8" (21 cm).
- Bead Size: Ranges from 9 mm to 14 mm in diameter.
These beautiful beads are made from recycled glass bottles and other glass materials, which are ground into a fine powder, placed into clay molds, and then fired in a traditional firewood kiln. The result is a stunning, eco-friendly piece of jewelry that not only looks amazing but also supports sustainable craftsmanship.
Trade beads, like these, hold significant cultural and historical importance in Ghana and across Africa, once serving as currency and symbols of wealth, status, and connection.
