Details

• Bead sizes are measured ranges; handmade glass varies from bead to bead within them, and the swirl pattern is different on every bead
• Generous holes: easy to string on leather, cord, wire or elastic
• The 7mm strand is an unusually small size for recycled glass

Recycled glass beads are made in Ghana from old bottles and other glass that is crushed to powder, poured into clay molds and fired until it fuses, a method used in West Africa for centuries. Five strands of blue and aqua swirl glass, from 7mm to 18mm. Use the small sizes for bracelets and earrings and the big ones for bold necklaces, or grade them across one piece.
