This beautiful strand of African powder glass beads was 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. They are made from bottles and other glass items that are turned into powder, then poured into molds in order to create 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 measures approximately 16-25 x 8-15mm with a hole size of approximately 3mm. You will receive a full strand measuring approximately 40".

Very nice beads

Not quite as vibrant as the picture shows, but still very nice beads. I realize there is going to be some difference between one strand and the next. I bought some blue krobo beads the other day and they were just as rich in color as the picture.
