Multicolored African Sandcast Beads - The Bead Chest

Real Life Style Shots

Product Details

Checkout this beautiful multicolored strand of African sandcast beads. The process of making these beads is unique to Africa and has been used for over 1000 years. Pulverized glass of various colors is poured into a clay mold, using a cassava stem for the bead's hole. The mold is placed in a furnace and heated until the glass particles congeal without actually melting and the stem burns out. The Ghananians have been making beads in this manner since the 1600s. Each unique strand measures approximately 32" in length and may vary slightly from picture shown.

Lovely variety

I ordered several strands and was able to create many pieces of jewelry with understated subtle colors. I made something with yellow tones, blue tones and green tones, spaced with brass spacers. I found the variety of sizes and colors fun to work with.
