The Art of the Ancestors: Recycled Glass Beads

We are thrilled to showcase these stunning strands of recycled powder glass African beads, handcrafted by the skilled artisans of Krobo Mountain in Ghana. These beads bring a touch of global heritage to your creative desk.

The Journey of a Bead
Sustainable Artistry: Each bead begins as recycled bottles and glass items, which are crushed into a fine powder.

Molded by Hand: This powder is poured into traditional molds to create their signature drum shape.

Intricate Decoration: Artisans use a thin wooden stalk to hand-paint delicate designs using a paste made from colored glass powder and water.

Double-Fired for Durability: The beads are cooked a second time to permanently fix the decor, ensuring they meet the high standards of quality we value at Beauty in the Bead.

These beads are entirely handmade, meaning no two are exactly alike. Their vibrant colors and unique textures make them an impressive addition to any necklace or bracelet.
