These magnificent recycled glass beads, also known as African trade beads, are a part of the rich tradition of Krobo bead-making in Ghana. Each bead is created using the age-old technique of fusing small, whole seed beads into molds. The molds are then carefully fired in a firewood kiln until the beads fuse together, creating their unique design and large, bold shape. This meticulous process highlights the ingenuity and artistry of Krobo artisans.
For centuries, trade beads have held a significant place in African history, serving as symbols of wealth, culture, and community. Today, they continue to celebrate heritage and bring vibrancy to jewelry-making and collections around the globe.
