Recycled Glass Beads for Jewelry Making, Home Decor (Green Aqua, 9mm)

The Bead Chest, a company that works with developing communities across Africa, offers some of the world's most beautiful and handmade beading treasures. Their unique business model allows them to support creative jewelry designers with quality beading supplies while simultaneously supporting the communities they work with, all in accordance with fair trade principles.

These authentic African beads are made from 100% recycled materials, such as used cola bottles, broken windows, and other recycled items, which are then crushed and transformed into stunning ethnic beads by master artisans. These beads are perfect for creating your own necklaces, bracelets, and jewelry, or can be worn as-is.

For each unit purchased, you will receive a full 22-inch strand consisting of approximately 52 beads, each measuring approximately 8-9 x 9-10mm with a 2mm hole size. The beads are typically strung on cotton or raffia, as shown in the photos.

Unlike cheap, imitation frosted glass beads from industrial Chinese factories, these beads are the real deal, handmade by Krobo artisans in Ghana. They are produced by Ghanaians, for the benefit of the Ghanaian people, in full compliance with rigorous international fair trade standards. The artisans are compensated well above market standards, which ensures they take pride in their work and create the best possible product.

The Bead Chest has a proven track record, having sold over 10 million beads and serving a customer base of more than 50,000 individuals who share the company's commitment to supporting fair trade artisans throughout Africa and the world.

The Bead Chest offers a confidence promise, ensuring that their fair trade beads are of the highest quality. If you are ever unsatisfied with your purchase, their incredible support staff will do their best to address your concerns and put a smile on your face.

Unique beads that set your designs apart, handmade by independent artisans using recycled materials, and produced in accordance with fair trade principles – that's the Bead Chest difference.
