Radiant Color. Timeless Craftsmanship. Authentically Ghanaian.

Illuminate your jewelry designs with these Golden Yellow Krobo Powdered Glass Disc Beads, individually handcrafted by skilled Krobo artisans in Ghana using traditional recycled glass beadmaking techniques that have been practiced for generations.

Each bead begins as recycled glass that is carefully crushed into a fine powder before being placed 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 warm Golden Yellow color introduces brightness, optimism, and refined elegance while maintaining the handcrafted character that makes every strand unique. Their classic disc profile creates beautiful rhythm and balance, making them ideal for statement necklaces, layered bracelets, earrings, waist beads, and mixed-media artwork.

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

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

Carefully curated and quality-inspected by AADAMPO African Beads, these authentic Krobo Powdered Glass Disc Beads celebrate sustainable craftsmanship, Ghanaian cultural heritage, and the enduring artistry of Krobo beadmakers.
