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. Each bead measures approximately 5-7 x 6mm with a hole size of approximately 2mm. You will receive a full strand measuring approximately 25". Multiple strands may be pictured. Each strand is sold individually. Ratio of purple to white may vary from photo.

Beautiful and so much fun to work with! I’d post pictures of my work but I don’t see a place to do that. Speedy delivery as well.

Very Gender-Neutral!

Anything I use these beads on (the Opaque Black Recycled Glass Beads-7mm) tends to catch the eye of all genders! The black ones are my favorite, but there are so many color varieties of these opaque 7mm beads, all incredibly bright and sturdy (not brittle).
