Refined Simplicity. Timeless African Craftsmanship.

Discover the understated elegance of these Classic Ivory Krobo Powdered Glass Disc Beads, meticulously handcrafted by skilled Krobo artisans in Ghana using traditional recycled glass beadmaking techniques that have been preserved and refined through generations.

Each bead begins as recycled glass that is finely ground into powder, carefully placed into handcrafted clay molds, and kiln-fired to produce the distinctive matte finish and naturally textured surface that characterize authentic Krobo Powdered Glass Beads.

The soft Classic Ivory color offers remarkable versatility. Its warm neutral tone complements virtually every color palette, making it an essential foundation for contemporary jewelry, heritage-inspired collections, bridal designs, minimalist pieces, and luxury statement creations.

Each strand contains approximately 42 handcrafted beads, measuring approximately 5–7 mm × 15–17 mm with 2–3 mm holes, making them suitable for stretch cord, leather, waxed cotton, nylon cord, jewelry wire, hemp, linen, silk, and other professional stringing materials.

These handcrafted beads pair effortlessly with Ashanti brass beads, oversized Adinkra brass pendants, African trade beads, gemstones, wood, leather, horn, bone, and natural fibers. Their neutral elegance makes them a favorite among jewelry designers, wholesale buyers, museum gift shops, galleries, educators, and creative makers seeking timeless design flexibility.
