BLUE CHOKER

Necklace assembled in nylon threads with 12mm BLUE GLASS  DONUTS  and WHITE WOOD BEADS MEASURING 10mm.

The process of making these beads is unique to Africa and has been used for over 1000 years. Pulverized glass of various colors is poured into a clay mold, using a cassava stem for the bead’s hole. The mold is placed in a furnace and heated until the glass particles congeal without actually melting and the stem burns out.
