Teal Recycled Glass Beads (11mm) - The Bead Chest

Product Details

These great beads are made by the Krobo People of Ghana, Africa. Powder glass beads are made by crushing glass to a fine powder and heating it so that the particles fuse together. The glass is then poured into clay molds, with a cassava leaf stem used to make the hole. They are baked in an oven and the glass fuses and the cassava stem burns up. This technique has been used in Africa for centuries.

    Marvelous Mango Color!

    I just LOVE the quality of ALL of the beads in my last order. I am always impressed with the quality of each and every item, the use of 'green' packaging, fabulous customer service, and super fast shipping. The Bead Chest is a treasure trove of very unique beads at reasonable prices and I shall continue to support this fine business. Heartfelt thanks for everything you have done over the years.

    Beautiful beads! Even better shipping !

    I just discovered THE BAD CHEST and am I a happy girl! This shop carries exotic old and wonderful beads. I was stumped about how I was going to design a necklace for my best friend; I wanted it to be perfect and now it is because of the BEAD CHEST. CHECK THEM OUT! You’ll love what you see😊
