Product Details

These great beads are made by the Krobo People of Ghana, Africa. Powder glass beads are made by crushing glass to a fine powder and heating it so that the particles fuse together. The glass is then poured into clay molds, with a cassava leaf stem used to make the hole. They are baked in an oven and the glass fuses and the cassava stem burns up. This technique has been used in Africa for centuries. Bead size can vary between 18-22mm. Please let us know in advance if you have special size requirement.

African recycled glass beads

I loved all the colors (seaglass, blue, gradient blues) that I ordered. They came really quick and intact. They really helped me out when my wholesale vendor couldn’t come through with my order. I donated the beads as trophy lei’s for an girls surf contest Salty Sweet in Cocoa Beach, Florida. The women loved them.

Beautiul color - I am going to make a necklace with some of the beads- too heavy to use only these beads.
