A beautiful strand of powder glass African beads, made by the people of Krobo Mountain in Ghana, West Africa. Many designs of Krobo beads are patterned to resemble old Venetian FANCY trade beads. Made from bottles and other glass items that are turned into powder, then poured into molds in order to create these round shaped beads. Decorations on the beads are made with a paste made of colored glass powder and water which is applied by hand using a thin wooden stalk. The beads are cooked a second time to fix the decor. Each bead is unique and will measure approximately 10-13 x 12-14mm. Strand may vary slightly from picture.

    I have a budget for my shop expenses and have been watching these for some time. They have the pop of color and surprise of pattern that will make a simple strand--not so simple! I bought one strand and if it is popular will undoubtedly be back for more.

    Gecko Krobo beads

    Like the colors and the round shape of these beads. Will be using the Yellow Vintage Ghana beads with these in necklaces and bracelets.
