Large Recycled Glass Beads – Handmade in Ghana

Crafted from Recycled Gin Bottles

These striking beads are handmade in Ghana using recycled gin bottles, transformed through traditional glass-working techniques. Each bead is carefully moulded and polished, giving it a unique texture and character.

Sustainable Artisan Craft

By repurposing discarded glass, Ghanaian artisans create something both beautiful and sustainable. These beads carry the story of recycling, creativity, and heritage, turning waste into timeless design.

Decorative or Wearable Statement

While these beads can be strung into a bold statement necklace, they are best displayed as décor — draped over a bowl, styled on a coffee table, or hung as a tactile accent. Their generous size and weight make them as sculptural as they are versatile.

The Beauty of Handmade

Every bead is slightly different in shape, size, and finish — natural variations that reflect their handmade origin and make each strand one of a kind.

Circumference:70-71CM
