Large Bicone African Trade Beads - Recycled Ghana Glass Beads

Discover the artistry of Large Bicone African Trade Beads handcrafted by the talented artisans of Kroboland, Ghana. Made using recycled tiny "White Heart" and "Seed" glass beads, these unique beads represent the rich heritage of African bead-making traditions.

These stunning beads are not only a tribute to sustainability but also a celebration of African culture. The artisans of Kroboland employ an ancient technique where new seed beads are carefully arranged into molds. These molds are then placed in a firewood kiln, where the intense heat fuses the beads together, creating bold and vibrant designs.

Trade beads have long been a symbol of commerce, storytelling, and connection in African history. These bicone beads continue that legacy, serving as a bridge between tradition and modern design.
