Ghana is known for its eco-friendly process for creating recycled glass beads.  Scrap and unusable glass products are ground down to a fine powder before being poured into clay molds and baked in ovens transforming discarded objects into beautiful glass beads.  The process yields particularly vibrant colors as has created a self-sustaining economy for the Ashanti and Krobo tribes in Ghana.  These African Glass Beads can be used to create jewelry or placed around the home to accent your decor.
