Handmade African Krobo Bead and Gold Plated Stacking Bracelet

These Krobo beads are a splendid example of the craft. Powder glass beads are made by crushing glass to a fine powder and heating it so that the particles fuse together. The glass is then poured into clay molds, with a cassava leaf stem used to make the hole. They are baked in an oven and the glass fuses and the cassava stem burns up.

The particular beads I've used are truly expressive put together with formal looking gold plated accents. They look great stacked with other bracelets in the series, as you'll see in the last photo.

I've bought the Krobo beads from Soul of Samanya, an organization which supports the development of bead making in Ghana in order to improve the standard of living for artisans. I love supporting this mission and therefore have quite a large collection of Krobos.

This bracelet, which is strung on strong memory wire, attaches with a lobster clasp. You only need to clasp it once, as it will then slide over your wrist and hug it due to the springiness of the wire. The clasp will provide extra security.

This will be made to your wrist size, so please let me know what it is when you order.

This is an unusual piece you'll love wearing for the reactions.
