The following necklaces are made by Krobo women of Ghana. They use a large variety of materials and each is a one of a kind piece.

You'll find beads created from bamboo, large seeds, clay, stone; they are sometimes created using plastic seeds beads for detail as well. Some are painted, others have the color "built in" via recycled glass. No two are alike; yet each one is stunning. Beautiful yet affordable, they are a great way to get your holiday shopping done without hurting the wallet. Frankly, no one receiving them would ever suspect you paid so little while looking at their new piece of jewelry!
