Flat-Ended Recycled Powder Glass Red Trade Beads
$35.00
Krobo beads, crafted by the Krobo people of Ghana, are a type of African bead made from recycled glass. With a history spanning centuries, the bead-making process involves collecting glass bottles, crushing them into a fine powder, and molding the powdered glass into various shapes and sizes. The clay molds filled with glass powder are heated until the glass melts into a molten state and then slowly cooled to form solid beads.
