    Beautiful set of beads.

    They look just like the photos on the website. I am planning to use them for an African Design mosaic art piece.

    Long strand Krobo Powderglass Beads

    Wow! These beads are beautiful. Just so well done on such a generous strand of heavy woven strings. Some are quite large and all beads show artisan skill.
