Features

  • MADE OF 100% RECYCLED GLASS: These authentic African beads are made of 100% recycled glass. Master artisans collect used cola bottles, broken windows, and other recycled materials which are then crushed down into a fine powder before being transformed into these beautiful ethnic beads. Great for your own necklaces, bracelets, and jewelry, or can be worn as-is!
  • WHAT YOU GET: For each unit purchased, you will receive a full 24" strand which consists of approximately 34-36 beads. Each bead measures approximately 19-23 x 18-20mm with a hole size of 2-3mm. Beads are typically strung on cotton, or raffia as shown in photo.
  • 100% AUTHENTIC AND FAIR TRADE: Don't fall victim to cheap, imitation frosted glass beads from industrial Chinese factories. These beads are the real thing! Handmade by Krobo artisans, these beads are produced in Ghana, by Ghanaians, and for the benefit of the Ghanaian people. All procurement is done in abidance of rigorous international fair trade standards. Because our artisans are compensated well above market standards, they love their work and as a result, create the best product!
  • THE BEAD CHEST ADVANTAGE: Over 10 million+ beads sold. Join the 50,000+ customers who have joined us in our effort to support fair trade artisans throughout Africa and the entire world!
  • SATISFACTION GUARANTEE: Because our fair trade beads are the highest quality beads on the market, we have full confidence you will be satisfied with your order.
