Lavender African Recycled Glass Bead Necklace

African glass beads are stunning and absolutely fascinating.  First, they are made out of recycled glass bottles. Second, they are made entirely by hand. Someone sorts the bottles by color, crushes them, forces the glass into molds and sends them into an oven.  The videos online of the beads being made are fascinating.

These purple glass beads are paired with PVD spacers and a simple lavender pendant. 

Details:

• Designed with 8mm African glass beads
  
• PVD findings including a PVD lobster clasp
  
• Because each piece is handcrafted with natural materials, there will be slight variations in color, size, and shape

Measurements: 15" w/4" extender
