Add authentic West African heritage to your jewelry designs. These handcrafted Krobo beads bring centuries of artisan tradition directly to your workbench—each strand tells a story that mass-produced materials simply can't match.

Sourced from the Krobo region of Ghana, these 15x5mm rondelle beads are created using the traditional powder-glass technique: recycled glass is hand-ground, molded in clay, and kiln-fired by skilled artisans. The result? Bold, earthy beads with a naturally matte finish and organic character that collectors and designers actively seek out.

Why designers choose Krobo beads: They deliver instant visual impact while supporting ethical, small-batch craftsmanship. Perfect for statement necklaces, bohemian designs, or any piece where authenticity matters more than factory perfection.


What You're Getting

  • Handmade by Krobo artisans using centuries-old methods
  • Recycled glass construction — sustainable before it was trendy
  • Large 15×5mm rondelle size — ideal for bold, eye-catching designs
  • Matte finish with natural variation — no two beads are identical
  • ~24–26" strand — enough for a full necklace or multiple bracelets
  • Ethically sourced — your purchase supports artisan communities in Ghana

Specifications

  • Origin: Krobo Region, Ghana
  • Material: Recycled glass
  • Shape: Rondelle / Heishi-style
  • Size: ~15mm diameter × 5mm thick
  • Hole Size: ~2–3mm (accommodates most stringing materials)
  • Strand Length: ~24–26 inches
  • Finish: Matte / Satin
  • Style: African Trade Bead

Design Applications

These beads excel in:

  • Statement necklaces with cultural depth
  • Tribal and bohemian jewelry collections
  • Mixed-material designs (pairs beautifully with turquoise, lapis, coral, brass)
  • Heritage-inspired or storytelling pieces
  • Any design where handmade character outweighs machine precision

Cultural Significance

In Ghana, Krobo beads aren't just decorative—they're ceremonial. Used to mark births, marriages, and rites of passage, these beads carry meaning that resonates with customers seeking authenticity and connection in their jewelry.


Important: Handmade Variation

These are not factory-made beads. Expect slight variations in size, surface texture, and color intensity—that's the signature of genuine handwork. If you need perfectly uniform beads, these aren't the right choice. If you value character and authenticity, they're exactly what you're looking for.

Ready to add cultural depth to your next design? Each strand is unique—once they're gone, the next batch may vary.

Nice wallet but...
Color: Tiger Eye8018, Material Type: Leather, Color: Tiger Eye8018, Material Type: Leather
I've been using this Bulliant wallet for a few weeks now, and it's been a solid upgrade from my old one I carried. I like the design of the wallet. It is sleek and clean looking. It hold a good number of cards without feeling bulky. When I first loaded the wallet up, the card slot was a little tight but that is to be expected. As far as durability goes, the wallet holds up. It isn't made of cheap material. It protects my cards and keeps everything organized. The only downside I would say is if you wear your wallet in your back pocket it is going to be a little bulky. Also if you have a lot of cards like me, you will run out of room and have to decide which cards to carry. But overall a good wallet that I would purchase again.

Great value
Color: Brick Brown6226, Material Type: Leather
This wallet is a lot less expensive than similar products. It has a minimalist size. Plenty of room for cards, but you have to dig a little. I am pleased with the quality.
