Checkout this beautiful strand of teal color Ashanti glass saucer 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 Ghanaians have been making beads in this manner since the 1600s. Each bead measures approximately 14mm in diameter. Shade of teal may vary slightly from strand to strand.
I need TEN Stars for these Dark Pink Ashanti Glass Saucer Beads
I have multiple plans for these Dark Pink Ashanti Glass Saucer Beads. No noodles. No soup. I bought more of these in a variety of colors and am anxiously awaiting a delivery, maybe tomorrow. Every strand is worth every penny: I have not noticed that The BeadChest inflates prices even though they carry incredibly awesome, and, I would and do use the word here: challenging merchandise. Their store puts safaris to shame. Discover a different Africa and the people and tribes who care for it. Your jewelry and art designs will be enviable (Forever)!
