Vibrant Color. Timeless Craftsmanship. Authentically Ghanaian.

Bring bold energy and handcrafted beauty to your jewelry designs with these Classic Red Krobo Powdered Glass Disc Beads, meticulously handmade by skilled Krobo artisans in Ghana using traditional recycled glass beadmaking techniques that have been practiced for generations.

Each bead is crafted from finely ground recycled glass, carefully packed into handcrafted clay molds, and kiln-fired to create the signature matte finish and naturally textured surface that distinguish authentic Krobo Powdered Glass Beads.

The striking Classic Red color adds warmth, confidence, and visual impact to contemporary and heritage-inspired jewelry. Whether used as a focal color or paired with complementary materials, these beads create designs that are both expressive and timeless.

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, and other professional stringing materials.

These beads pair beautifully with handcrafted Ashanti brass beads, oversized Adinkra brass pendants, African trade beads, gemstones, wood, leather, and natural fibers, making them an excellent choice for jewelry designers, wholesale buyers, museum gift shops, galleries, educators, and creative makers.
