A rustic brown leather bracelet/anklet with a single African recycled glass bead. The leather is rustic with varying shades of brown and red and ages beautifully with wear. The recycled glass beads look like faux sea glass. They are centered between two sliding knots for an adjustable fit. Each bracelet/anklet is sold individually (you will receive one anklet/bracelet with your choice of colored glass bead).
The recycled glass beads are made by members of the Krobo Tribe which is located in Ghana, Africa. These African beads are created by first crushing up pieces of glass (from soda bottles, windshields, etc...) then compressing glass into a dry grain, and heating the grain so that the pieces form together. It is then put into a porcelain cast. The stem of a cassava leaf is used to make the hole. Finally, they are baked in a furnace causing the glass to melt together and the cassava stem to burn away. This technique has been used in Africa for centuries to make recycled glass beads.
Leather is 2mm thick and the glass bead is 8-11mm in size. Each bead is unique and one of a kind.
The anklet bracelet is made with adjustable sliding knots which help you get a perfect fit. Gently slide the knots away from the glass bead to open the anklet/bracelet. Slip it over your foot (or hand) to your ankle (wrist), then slide the knots back to the silver bead for a comfortable fit. When in doubt, order a smaller size (smaller can be adjusted bigger. Bigger sizes can not be adjusted smaller).
