Making Beads
Creating beads is an ancient art that continues to thrive today. From the early days of melting glass over a fire to modern manufacturing techniques, bead-making is a craft that requires both skill and creativity. Each bead tells a story through its colors, textures, and materials.
In Ghana, where my bead journey began, artisans create beautiful glass seed beads by hand. The process involves crushing glass, melting it, and shaping it into small vibrant beads. These beads carry cultural meaning, often used to symbolize beauty, growth, and status within the community.
Today, I bring that same tradition to Beadsbyjen, where each bead is made with intention and love. Whether for fashion, celebration, or personal empowerment, every bead I craft carries a story waiting to be told.
