Product Details

Recycled glass beads are a type of indigenously produced African bead from Ghana West Africa. These beautiful purple 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.

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.
