Deep Teal Blue: Ashanti Ghana Glass Beads, 14x5mm, 120+ Rondelle Spacer Beads FULL strand or Pack of 10 beads, Ashanti Krobo Glass Beads, Large Hole Glass Beads, African Beads, Beads for Jewelry & Craft DIY Bead Supplies
These super fun glass beads are handmade in Ghana by the Krobo Tribe and each strand is unique in both colors and number of beads. Each bead and each strand will vary from one to another. One particular thing about Krobo Glass is that the beads have a beautiful organic shape since they are handmade. Some will say they are matte, but I find that they are in between a matte and glossy finish, in the end, they are glass beads. It is almost like these beads have been sandblasted, but still have a beautiful sheen that brings so much beauty to elevate your handmade jewelry.
The shape is of an organic rondelle that reminds me of mini donuts with large holes that allow you to string them on thick cording and even leather. Though they are handmade glass and look bold, they don't carry a lot of weight and you could easily wear several full strands for that edge look.
Each Krobo Glass Bead strand averages 23 inches of beads, strung in a loop as they are worn in Africa with approximately 120 beads, but most strands will end up having more beads than that. Please don't forget that these are handmade beads and are unique. Zoom in on the pictures for close-ups and further details.
Please note that these beads are not as perfectly polished as many glass beads are, they will feel like sand-blasted beads due to how they are made.
P.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!
