African Glass Beads - Aqua

These soft aqua green beads are handmade in Ghana using traditional Krobo bead-making techniques that date back centuries. Each bead is crafted from recycled glass—often from old bottles—that is crushed into powder, poured into clay molds, and fired in outdoor kilns. The result is a beautiful matte finish and a tactile, frosted surface that feels both earthy and refined.

Made by artisans in the Krobo region of Ghana, these beads are more than decorative—they carry a legacy of resourcefulness, ritual, and craftsmanship. Historically used in ceremonial jewelry and as a form of trade, African glass beads continue to symbolize community, heritage, and creative resilience.

Style them draped over a bowl, stacked in a tray, or worn as a bold, meaningful accessory.
