Rich Color. Exceptional Ghanaian Craftsmanship.

Create striking jewelry with these Royal Sapphire Blue Krobo Powdered Glass Disc Beads, handcrafted by skilled Krobo artisans in Ghana using recycled glass and centuries-old beadmaking traditions.

Each bead is made by grinding recycled glass into a fine powder, carefully filling handcrafted clay molds, and kiln-firing them to produce the signature matte finish and naturally textured surface that define authentic Krobo Powdered Glass Beads.

The luxurious Royal Sapphire Blue color offers remarkable depth and brilliance, inspired by the rich tones of the sapphire gemstone. This elegant shade pairs beautifully with handcrafted Ashanti brass, African trade beads, natural woods, gemstones, and other Krobo glass bead colors, making it ideal for both contemporary and heritage-inspired jewelry.

Each strand contains approximately 42 handcrafted disc 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 silk.
