Cup of Culture. A Pound of Creative Power.
This African Krobo Beads Soup Mix is a one-cup assortment of 160+ recycled glass beads, hand-shaped and painted by artisans in Odumase-Krobo, Ghana.
Crafted using ancient bead-making traditions and upcycled materials, each bead tells a story — painted swirls, symbolic dots, tribal lines, and molten glass textures come together in a blend that speaks to eco-conscious jewelry designers, DIY crafters, and cultural creatives.
No two mixes are the same — yet all deliver vibrant colors, earthy textures, and deep-rooted tradition.
