Krobo Ghana Painted Glass Beads – Traditional African Craft Strand

Add vibrant cultural artistry to your designs with this strand of Ghana Krobo painted powder glass beads, made through traditional recycled-glass beadmaking techniques. Each bead is molded, kiln-fired, and hand-decorated — creating a lively mix of surface motif work and organic texture that reflects true artisan craftsmanship.

Their approximate 12mm size makes them perfect for standalone necklaces, stacked bracelet designs, accent strands, or focal elements in mixed-media work. Designers and collectors favor these strands for their expressive hand-painted detailing and historical beadmaking heritage.
