14mm African Krobo Glass Beads - Recycled Venetian Disk Style

Elevate your jewelry designs with this stunning strand of NEW powder glass African beads, skillfully handcrafted by the talented artisans of Kroboland, Ghana, West Africa. These beautiful beads are inspired by old Venetian disk trade beads, blending tradition and creativity in a sustainable and elegant design.

• Strand Length: Approximately 23.5 inches (59.5 cm).
• Bead Size: 14 mm in diameter.

Each bead is meticulously crafted from recycled glass bottles and other discarded glass materials. These materials are ground into a fine powder, carefully shaped in molds, and fired in kilns to produce the vibrant, disk-shaped beads you see. The beads are 100% handmade, ensuring every strand is as unique as the artisan who created it.

The production process reflects the rich heritage of the Krobo people, who have been creating recycled glass beads for centuries. These beads are more than just a stunning accessory—they represent the spirit of African trade, a vital aspect of Ghanaian culture. Trade beads like these were historically used as currency and symbols of wealth, making them an essential part of African history.
