Sophisticated Color. Authentic Ghanaian Craftsmanship.
Introduce rich artisan color into your jewelry collections with these Classic Teal Krobo Powdered Glass Disc Beads, handcrafted by skilled Krobo artisans in Ghana using recycled glass and traditional beadmaking techniques that have been practiced for generations.
