Bold artisan color. Eco-friendly story. Large holes for easy stringing.

✨ Wearable culture, fused by hand. These Ghanaian Krobo beads are kiln-fused from recycled glass, then patterned by artisans—giving you color, texture, and heritage in every bead.

 

Meet your new favorite large-hole African trade beads. Each strand features approximately 45 fused Krobo beads (about 12–14mm) with 2.5–3mm holes—perfect for leather cord, elastic, macramé, kumihimo, wire-loops, and chunky stringing projects.

 

Handcrafted in Ghana using recycled glass, the beads are fired and fused for a rich marbled look with striking, hand-applied patterns. Expect vivid multicolored tones with organic variation—no two beads (or strands) are exactly alike.

 

Why makers love them

 

Design freedom: Large holes fit most 1–2mm cords and 16–18ga wire (test fit recommended).

 

Statement color: Fused marbling + artisan patterns deliver instant focal energy.

 

Eco-conscious: 100% recycled glass crafted by Krobo artisans using traditional methods.

 

Culture & craft: Inspired by centuries of West African beadmaking used in trade and ceremony.

Children & Safety

Not intended for use by children. Beads may present a choking hazard and should be kept out of reach of young children

Moisture & Handling

Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. While glass and brass are durable materials, excess humidity or water exposure may affect surface finish, patina, or stringing materials. Store in a dry environment when not in use.
