African Recycled Glass Beads Symbolizing Humility and Strength: Crafting with Meaning.
From Fire, Clay, and Time
In Krobo villages, recycled glass is ground, molded, and fired in clay kilns. Ashanti brass is cast using centuries-old lost-wax methods. Each bead is formed by hand — preserving Ghana’s material heritage through skilled labor and generational knowledge.
Our Story
A Living Tradition, Curated for the Present
Aadampo African Beads exists to preserve, honor, and share African bead-making traditions through thoughtful curation and modern application.
Our collections feature handcrafted Krobo recycled glass beads and Ashanti brass, made by skilled artisans in Ghana using techniques passed down through generations. Each piece carries history, intention, and cultural meaning — reimagined for today’s designers, collectors, and creative institutions.
We believe African beads are not merely materials, but cultural artifacts — meant to be respected, understood, and beautifully transformed.
