What truly sets these beads apart is their vibrant decoration. The Krobo artisans use finely crushed glass, natural pigments, and traditional tools to create intricate patterns that mimic the elegance of Venetian fancy beads. Designs are carefully etched or painted using wooden or metal tools, adding a touch of artistry to every bead. Once decorated, the beads are fired in a kiln where the powdered glass fuses, locking in the designs and giving the beads their final, polished form.
