Recycled glass beads made women in Ghana are placed in a double row with a heavy duty braided cord framework. The beads are rather massive and have a pleasing texture much like you would find in beach glass (also known as "sea glass").
Colors are a mix of blue, green and amber.
The bracelet is laid out on a circular mold which forces the beads into a bowed out form due to the tension on the edge stitching. Larger beads are placed opposite the button and loop closure.
