Often similar in technique to Krobo powder glass beads, these handcrafted beads are created from recycled glass and fired in clay molds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4104\" data-end=\"4309\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAshanti bead styles may include earth-toned finishes, bold layered colors, or simple translucent designs. Like other Ghana glass beads, slight variation in shape and texture reflects their handmade origin. These beads continue to play an important role in cultural adornment and modern jewelry design.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"burgundy-red-ashanti-krobo-glass-beads-14x5mm-120-rondelle-spacer-beads-full-strand-or-pack-of-10-beads-large-hole-craft-diy-beads","title":"Burgundy Red: Ashanti Krobo Glass Beads, 14x5mm, 120+ Rondelle Spacer Beads FULL strand or Pack of 10 beads, \/ Large Hole Craft DIY Beads","description":"Burgundy Red: Ashanti Ghana Glass Beads, 14x5mm, 120+ Rondelle Spacer Beads FULL strand or Pack of 10 beads, \/ Large Hole Glass Beads, African Beads, Beads for Jewelry \u0026amp; Craft DIY Bead Supplies\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThese super fun glass beads are handmade in Ghana by the Krobo Tribe, and each strand is really unique in color selection the number of beads will also vary from strand to strand. These glass beads have a matte finish, kinda like if they were sandblasted, but still, the colors are so very pretty. I particularly love the bold shape of these beads, as rondelles or saucers as they‘re called, and the hole size, which is about 3mm inner diameter, allowing you to string them on thicker threads and even leather cord.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe strands are on average 23\" of beads strung in a loop as they are worn in Africa, with approximately 120 beads, but most strands will actually have more beads than that. Please note, that each strand is unique! Zoom in on the pictures for close-ups and further details. Please note that these beads are not perfectly polished as many glass beads are, they will feel like sand-blasted beads due to how they are made. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nP.S. Please do NOT compare these to some machine-made beads in the market these days, where they are fully perfect and polished. If you‘re familiar with the ORIGINAL African beads, you know that they are NOT perfect and that is what makes them so darn beautiful!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n Details:\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: Ashanti glass beads from Ghana, Krobo Tribe\u003cbr\u003e\nQuantity: one strand of approximately 23\" of beads strung in a loop with around 120 plus beads\u003cbr\u003e\nSize: the beads are 14mm diameter x 5mm thick x hole is 3mm (approximately)","brand":"Etsy","offers":[{"title":"Full Strand","offer_id":45017464176821,"sku":"ET-13555646625","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"10 beads","offer_id":45017464209589,"sku":"ET-13901804598","price":3.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/9175\/4165\/files\/il_fullxfull.4650368846_mygh.jpg?v=1736823282"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/9175\/4165\/collections\/Ashanti_Beads_African_Glass_Beads_4.jpg?v=1771471215","url":"https:\/\/www.naturebeads.com\/collections\/ashanti-glass-beads.oembed","provider":"Nature Beads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
