Recycled glass beads are a type of indigenous craft from Ghana in West Africa. These beads have been nicely fashioned in recognizable Rasta colors using using an old method that has been applied for centuries. The glass itself is typically 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. Individual beads measure approximately 15-16 x 17-18mm with a hole size of 3-4mm. You will receive a full strand measuring approximately 28". May be worn as is or repurposed in your own creations. Each strand is unique and may vary slightly from photo.

I just LOVE the quality of ALL of the beads in my last order. I am always impressed with the quality of each and every item, the use of 'green' packaging, fabulous customer service, and super fast shipping. The Bead Chest is a treasure trove of very unique beads at reasonable prices and I shall continue to support this fine business. Heartfelt thanks for everything you have done over the years.

I love these beads. They are real glass and look old and weathered!
