An African glass bead is knotted leather cord for a fun beachy, boho bracelet. It looks great worn alone or stacked with other favorite bracelets. It is available in two colors of glass, blue and green. You can also choose your leather color from light brown, dark brown and black.

The leather cord is 2mm and the glass beads are about 14mm. The closure is a loop and freshwater pearl. These glass beads are not smooth and have a rough texture bases on how they are made. They look so much like beach glass!

What is African glass? These recycled glass beads are made by an indigenous people in Ghana, Africa. The glass itself is derived from a variety of recycled sources including old beverage and medicine bottles. The procedure for making the beads consists of a number of steps. The glass is sorted and then crushed into a powder and then poured into clay molds. A cassava leaf stem is placed through the mixture. When the molds are baked in the oven, the glass fuses and the cassava stem burns up. And Voila! a glass bead!

The bracelets in the pictures are for display purposes and your bracelet may vary slightly as each is handmade. Leather may stretch over time and it is recommended to  void getting the leather wet to extend the life of the leather.

Due to variations in monitors, the actual colors of the leather and glass beads may vary from what you see.
