{"product_id":"aburi-medley-round-krobo-beads","title":"Aburi Medley Round Krobo Beads","description":"Take a closer look at this beautiful strand of mixed Krobo glass beads, handcrafted by the Krobo people of Ghana, West Africa. Many of the bead patterns are inspired by historic Venetian fancy trade beads, giving each strand a distinctive traditional character. These beads are created by crushing recycled glass, such as bottles and other glass materials, into a fine powder. The powder is carefully placed into molds and kiln-fired to form the beads. Decorative details are then added by hand using a paste made from colored glass powder and water, applied with a slender wooden tool. Because every bead is individually handmade, no two are exactly alike. Beads measure approximately 9–12 x 11–12mm with stringing holes of about 2–3mm. Each purchase includes one strand measuring approximately 30 inches in length.\r\n\r\nBring the beauty of authentic Ghanaian craftsmanship and unique artisan-made beads to your next craft project!","brand":"The Bead Chest","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49064991064219,"sku":"KRB-421","price":14.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/8152\/files\/shopify_Mixed_Krobo_Beads_Medley_1.png?v=1784762223","url":"https:\/\/www.thebeadchest.com\/products\/aburi-medley-round-krobo-beads","provider":"The Bead Chest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
