Please note
Handmade, so the number of beads, their exact shade and small marks in the glass vary from bracelet to bracelet. The photograph shows the yellow bracelet; green and red are sold too but are not pictured. Colours can look slightly different on screen.
Cultural context & artisan story
Beadmaking is one of the best known crafts of the Krobo people of Ghana's Eastern Region, and glass beads play a central part in Krobo dress and ceremony, most famously in Dipo, the coming of age rite for young women. This bracelet is made in that Krobo style, so each one carries a small piece of that tradition onto an everyday wrist.

Product description
Overview
A handmade Ghanaian bracelet of chunky glass disc beads in one solid colour, strung on a white cord and made to suit men and women alike. The photograph shows the yellow bracelet. It also comes in green and in red, which you choose from the colour options; those two are not pictured, so ask the seller if you would like to see them first. The beads are made in the Krobo style of Ghana's Eastern Region, thick flat discs with a soft matte finish, stacked side by side all the way round so the bracelet reads as one solid ring of colour. It is a simple piece to wear every day on its own, or to stack with other beads for a cultural occasion, and it makes an easy gift for anyone who loves West African beadwork. Size: about 20.3cm (8 inches) around, with beads about 2.5cm across. Construction: glass beads threaded onto a white textile cord and tied with a knot. Care: keep it dry, wipe it with a soft cloth, and store it flat so the cord keeps its shape.
