From the villages of Ghana, these beautiful recycled glass beads are made by artisan craftspeople 100% by hand. The beads themselves are made using crushed recycled glass, such as cola bottles, windows, and more. The crushed glass is placed in molds and heated in a fire-wood oven, resulting in these beautiful beads. Each bead measures approximately 8 x 21mm, with holes measuring 3mm. Strands are 28" long and contain approximately 65 beads each.
