Jumbo Opaque Pink Recycled Glass Beads (21mm)

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 16-22 x 21-22mm with a hole size of approximately 3mm. Each strand measures about 30" long. Due to the size and weight of this item, additional charges may apply for some international orders. Get your strand today!
