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. Each bead measures approximately 6-7 x 7mm with a hole size of approximately 2mm. You will receive a full strand measuring approximately 24".

    Best Little Recycled Glass

    I have been making bracelets using this Ghana recycled glass and it is so popular. This is a big win as the person wearing the bracelet is supporting a tribe in Ghana and they are supporting the effort of reduce, reuse, recycle. People get excited knowing that the bracelet and earrings are supporting the environment.
