Three rows drop at staggered lengths — matte navy rounds at the collarbone, painted beads in navy, mustard and white through the middle, and a lower strand of longer mustard cylinders that catches the light.

  • Material: Recycled glass beads, alloy
  • Color: Navy, mustard, white
  • Length: 18 in
  • Drop: 3 in
  • Closure: S-hook
  • Origin: Ghana

The rows sit in loose curves rather than flat rings, so the necklace holds its dimension against the neckline. Scale shifts across the strands — small round beads above, painted patterns in the middle, longer cylinders below — which keeps the composition moving as you do.
Details
  • Three-row asymmetric design
  • Hand-painted bead detailing
  • Dimensional drape that doesn't lay flat
  • S-hook closure

Each bead is individually hand-painted and shaped from recycled glass, so slight variations in color, pattern and bead form are part of the piece and no two necklaces are exactly alike.

The Story

Recycled glass beadmaking is one of Ghana's enduring craft industries. Broken bottles and discarded glass are collected, crushed and fired in clay molds, then hand-painted or powdered with color before a second firing sets the design. The technique turns waste glass into wearable color and has supported generations of bead makers.

The navy, mustard and white palette follows a graphic color-blocking common to Ghanaian beadwork, where hue and pattern are used deliberately to build rhythm along a strand. Layering rows of differently sized and shaped beads lets the maker play with scale and texture in a single piece rather than repeating one bead throughout.

Stringing an asymmetric, multi-row design is its own skill — balancing bead sizes and colors by eye so the rows fall in a way that reads effortless but is carefully considered.

Craft & Care
  • Technique: Ghanaian recycled glass beadmaking

Wipe the beads with a soft, dry cloth and store flat or hanging so the rows don't tangle. Keep away from water, lotion and perfume.

Questions

What are the beads made from?

Recycled glass — crushed, fired in clay molds and finished by hand, with many beads hand-painted in navy, mustard and white.

Will the necklace lay flat when worn?

No. It is designed to hold some dimension and sits in loose curves rather than flat rings, which is part of the layered look.

How does it close?

It secures with an S-hook closure.

Will my necklace look exactly like the one photographed?

Because the beads are hand-painted and shaped individually, expect small natural variations in color and pattern from piece to piece.

How long is it?

Approximately 18 inches in length with a 3-inch drop across the rows.
