Ghana Glass Beads Necklace, Light blue - 84.1
£45.00
African recycled glass beads are made by members of the Krobo people which is located in Ghana. These beads are created by compressing glass into a dry grain, and heating the grain so that the pieces form together. The recycled glass is rushed into a porcelain cast. The stem of a cassava leaf is used to make the hole. It is baked in a furnace causing the glass to melt together and cassava stem to burn. This technique has been used in Africa for centuries to make recycled glass beads.
They each represent a historical culture and used for special ceremonies.
Beautifully styled on a stand included or you can hang it over a bowl and also wear it.
Size: 39cm H x 8cm W x 8cm L (stand included)
