Recycled glass beads are a type of indigenously produced African bead from Ghana West Africa. These beautiful black color recycled beads are made using an old method that has been used for centuries. The glass itself is derived from a variety of recycled sources including old beverage and medicine bottles. The procedure for making the beads consists of a number of steps whereby powdered glass is poured into molds of clay and baked in a specialized oven. These beads are produced in large part by the Krobo tribe and through recycling glass are environmentally friendly.
I can’t say enough great things about The Beadchest. I was contacted within 30 minutes of placing my order to correct an issue with my address, and my order (which was aobut 10 strands of recycled glass beads, was shippped same day and received around noon the folllowing day without expedited shipping! I'd previously purchased a couple strands of the same beads locally and paid exactly twice the amount.... never again! I’ll be ordering from The Beadchest from here on out. Thank you for the outstanding customer service and beautiful reccled glass beads!
Love the shade and size of these rose glass beads. Used them to make bracelets. Will definitely purchase more. Thank you Bead Chest for always supplying top quality beads and supplies.
