This beautiful bead is proudly handcrafted in Africa and has a base of translucent deep green color. There is a swirling, wild pattern done in tones of Navajo white and infused with light coffee cream.
Fair Trade beads from developing countries are unique works of art. Each of these beads is different from one another, and although they stay within the same general pattern and color, they can vary quite a bit. This is part of the uniqueness of Fair Trade beads- the technology used is not as advanced as developed countries, therefore the techniques tend to be primitive which give the beads their own unique qualities.
One characteristic of Fair Trade beads, due to the more primitive techniques used, is that the beads are not perfect and have their own personalities. Beads may not be perfectly round and although the finish is glossy, beads may have some texture. The cores may not sit perfectly straight, but we have tested each bead on a bracelet and they all sit beautifully. I tend to love the look of handcrafted glass, and these beads are a treasure.
We have included pictures of these unique beads. This pattern is a limited edition. Please note that these beads tend to be 9 - 10mm wide.
