Abu glass bead necklace - Extra large (TR3501)
£145.00
These necklaces are made up of hand carved ebony beads and recycled glass beads, all made in ghana.
African recycled glass beads are made by members of the Krobo people which is located in Ghana, Africa. These African 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.
