Beautiful recycled glass beads are handmade by artisans in the West African country of Ghana.
Each bead is individually handcrafted through a traditional process passed down generation to generation.
The steps involve crushing glass into tiny pieces, placing it in a mold, and then heating the crushed glass at high temperatures in a clay oven.
Different types of glass are used including old cola bottles, broken tiles and windows, and other types of repurposed glass. approximately 8-9 x 10-11mm with a hole size of approximately 2mm.
