beaded glass

Eight scintillating strands of blue and black beads combine with white for a dramatic necklace. Ila Suleyman selects seed beads of recycled glass and disks of recycled plastic to make a statement for the environment. He names his design Mpusia, which means "Thank You" in the language of Northern Ghana.

Elegance comes hand in hand with environmental awareness in Eliasu Adams's newest design. Working with sese wood and recycled glass beads, the Ghanaian artisan creates this necklace featuring a cute blue accent at the center, often a sign of intuition. The accessory also has a brass hook clasp that allows for easy wear.
