Welcome
Beads are some of the most stunningly attractive items of jewellery and thus have been the most popular components of personal adornment. It has become a sophisticated art form.
Beads from imported glass scrap continue to be made using two basic techniques: traditional winding and drawing, and using ground powder glass (recycled from bottles, jars and broken beads to a fine powder).
Waist beads have several different meanings ranging from rites of passage, to enticing your partner to healing and rejuvenation. The art of adorning ones self has been practiced since the beginning of time.
If you wear something like blue it's purity, white is fertility, gold is wealth. So colours can be so precious. Beads are handmade and as a result, no two beads are exactly the same and when strung together have a strong aesthetic presence.
Raw materials for the manufacture of the beads are broken glass of different colours The brown clay moulds have been freshly made. Before firing, the moulds are coated with Kaolin to harden them and extend their lifetime. The broken glass is first washed and then crushed in a hollow rock. The crushed glass is poured into the moulds The moulds are placed in the oven. They generally stay in the oven for about 45 minutes The craftsman uses a special metal pin to turn the liquid glass around to give it the ball-shape.. The same pin is used to make the hole through the bead before the glass is set. After cooling and washing, the finished product is strung. Ready for use.
