Blue Moon Earrings
It’s like gazing into the ocean with this one of a kind pair of earrings with African Trade Beads and African brass beads on top and bottom. The handmade earwires are sterling silver. These beautiful translucent colorful beads are made by the Krobo People of Ghana, Africa. Powder glass beads are made by crushing glass to a fine powder and heating it so that the particles fuse together. The glass is then poured into clay molds, with a cassava leaf stem used to make the hole. They are baked in an oven and the glass fuses and the casssava stem burns up. This technique has been used in Africa for centuries. Today these beads are more popular and collectable than ever. Thousands of these trade beads are in private collections around the world. The African Traders are having to go deeper and deeper into Africa to find more of these beads and many styles which were readily available just 5 years ago are no longer seen today. Length-1 1/4 inch drop.
