This Mala style necklace features natural sandalwood beads, handmade African brass beads, bone beads, and handmade African recycled glass bead on a 35 in. cord.

* African recycled glass beads are made by members of the Krobo Tribe which is located in Ghana, Africa. These African beads are created by compressing glass into a dry grain, and heating the grain so that the pieces form together. The recycled glass is rushed into a porcelain cast. The stem of a cassava leaf is used to make the hole. It is baked in a furnace causing the glass to melt together and cassava stem to burn. This technique has been used in Africa for centuries to make recycled glass beads.

* Tassel approx. 2.5 in. long.
