Description

Each strand of Krobo glass beads is a tribute to the craftsmanship of the Krobo Mountain people. Resembling the vintage Venetian trade beads, these beads carry the spirit of tradition and history. Handmade using a meticulous process, these beads are created from repurposed glass items that are transformed into powder. Molds are used to shape the glass powder into beads that captivate with their distinctive beauty. The beads come alive with intricate decorations, handcrafted using a paste of colored glass powder and water. Applied delicately with a wooden stalk, these decorations are a testament to the artisans’ precision and creativity.

Cooked a second time to set the exquisite decor, each bead is a masterpiece that embodies the essence of Ghanaian culture and craftsmanship.
