A cup of culture—built for designers. ABM505 is a green-forward, earth-toned African beads mix featuring 160+ loose assorted Krobo recycled glass beads from Ghana. Made for jewelry designers who want texture, story, and differentiation in one pour.
Why Designers Buy This Mix
Most bead assortments look “random.” This one looks intentional.
ABM505 leans into green + mineral hues (forest, olive, sea-glass, moss) with warm clay, amber, and cobalt accents—creating a palette that photographs beautifully, pairs cleanly with brass, and reads “premium handmade” at a glance.
Design advantage: greens and earth tones convert unusually well for “wearable everyday statement” pieces—less seasonal, more collectible, and easier to build into repeatable collection
