These molds are then heated in a firewood kiln, allowing the beads to fuse into larger, intricate designs. This eco-conscious process not only celebrates the resourcefulness of Ghanaian beadmakers but also creates vibrant pieces cherished worldwide.
Trade beads hold a significant place in African history, symbolizing trade, culture, and community. These bicone beads continue that tradition, connecting generations through their timeless beauty.
