A bracelet sized strand of about 9 large Sandcast Recycled Glass Beads which is strung on string. The beads are about 1 1/4″ and are colourful with various colours and designs. The beads are all handcrafted so will vary in colour, size and shape. The strand you will received will be similar to the photo but may have variations in colours (2 strands have blue with orange stripes).

These recycled glass beads were handcrafted in Ghana, Africa by crushing old, discarded glass, adding colorant and then pouring the powder into clay molds. The stem of a local plant is added, this burns away during firing, leaving a hole for stringing. The beads are fired in a wood burning earthen oven.
