Powder glass beads are made by crushing glass to a fine powder and heating it so that the particles fuse together. The glass is then poured into clay molds, with a cassava leaf stem used to make the hole. They are baked in an oven and the glass fuses and the cassava stem burns up.
These are large beads ( bigger than most) measuring about 1 ½" in diameter each.
There are about 28 beads per strand, and it is 15" from top to bottom.
Some are lighter, and some a little darker - please specify if you have a preference.
