These beautiful recycled glass beads are handmade by artisans in the West African country of Ghana. Each bead is individually handcrafted through a traditional process passed down generation to generation. The steps involve crushing glass into tiny pieces, placing it in a mold, and then heating the crushed glass at high temperatures in a clay oven. Different types of glass are used including old cola bottles, broken tiles and windows, and other types of repurposed glass. The beads on this strand measure approximately 9-10 x 11-12mm with a hole size of approximately 2.5mm. Each strand measures about 27". Shade of grey may vary slightly from photo.

I love these beautiful blue recycled glass beads! They look like beach glass and are semi transparent...the way the light show through them is awesome!
