The artisans in Krobo create these beads using a meticulous process involving recycled glass fragments. This eco-friendly technique transforms discarded glass into vibrant and translucent beads. After cleaning and breaking the glass into fragments, the pieces are placed in clay molds and fired in kilns at high temperatures. This fuses the fragments into beautiful, one-of-a-kind beads that often retain their original translucency and variegated appearance.
Trade beads like these have deep cultural significance in Ghana and across Africa, serving as symbols of identity, status, and tradition. Incorporate a piece of this rich heritage into your creations or collections with these timeless beads.
