These great green rondelle beads are made by the Krobo People of Ghana, Africa. Powder glass beads are made by crushing glass to a fine powder and heating it so that the particles fuse together. The glass is then poured into clay molds, with a cassava leaf stem used to make the hole. They are baked in an oven and the glass fuses and the cassava stem burns up. This technique has been used in Africa for centuries. Each bead measures approximately 4 x 11mm, with a hole size of approximately 2mm. You will receive one strand measuring approximately 26". There are around 125 beads on each strand. Some strands may be wrapped with raffia while others may be strung on cotton. Grab a strand for yourself today!
