Recycled Glass Rectangles

A strand of about 26 translucent ruby Red rectangular shaped Recycled Glass Beads on string 22″ long.  The rectangular beads vary in size but on average are 20x9mm. Ghana is famous for these recycled beads made from recycled glass bottles.

These recycled beads were bought directly from the small factory in Accra, Ghana where the artisans hand make the beads in the labor intensive method of their ancestors from crushing glass to baking the final product in wood ovens.
