Environmentally friendly is one expression that might be used to describe recycled glass beads. These African beads are made from old scrap glass derived from any one of a number of everyday sources. The Krobo people are experts at making these beads in the West African nation of Ghana. The process for making recycled glass beads is very old and is a variant of the better-known powdered glass method. In this method, old glass is pulverized into tiny grains that can subsequently be poured into a specially designed mold. At high temperatures achieved in an oven, the glass grains anneal to form a single and beautiful glass bead. Each strand is unique and may vary slightly from photo.

Better Than Expected

The beads I purchased were available for a fraction of the price they’re sold in stores. I could not be happier with my purchase, and will definitely reorder from The Bead Chest. Not only does the quality of my purchase exceed my expectations, but they arrived promptly. Very satisfied!
