Translucent Krobo Glass Beads - Authentic African Trade Beads from Ghana

Introducing our beautiful strand of translucent powder glass African beads, expertly handcrafted by the talented artisans of Kroboland, Ghana. These stunning beads are designed to imitate the classic old Venetian glass trade beads, offering a perfect blend of tradition and elegance for your jewelry creations.

  • Strand Length: Approximately 22 1/2" (57 cm)

Each bead is meticulously made from recycled bottles and other glass items, which are crushed into a fine powder. This powder is then carefully molded to create the exquisite beads you see. The entire process is done by hand, ensuring that every strand is truly one-of-a-kind.

YOUR STRAND WILL BE IDENTICAL TO THE STRAND SHOWN IN THE PHOTOGRAPH (GIVEN NORMAL VARIATION SINCE THESE BEADS ARE ALL COMPLETELY HANDMADE).

The Art of Bead Making in Kroboland

The people of Krobo in Ghana have been perfecting the art of bead making for generations. Using traditional techniques, they recycle glass materials to produce these stunning powder glass beads. The process begins by crushing recycled glass and bottles into a fine powder. This powder is then placed into molds and fired in kilns to create the beads. Once cooled, the beads are polished and drilled, ready to be strung into beautiful strands.

Trade beads have played a significant role in African history and culture, serving as currency and symbols of wealth and status. Today, they continue to be cherished for their beauty and cultural significance.
