African Amber Beads: Why Are They Important?

When making jewelry in Africa from beads, the choice of material is always very deliberate. You'll find that jewelry makers from Ghana will utilize several different beads to create something unique, special, and weighted with gravitas.

One of the most popular necklace-making materials is the African Amber bead. Also known as Copal Amber, these beads are made from a material known as Bakelite. These beads would hit the open market through Africa in the early 1900s and they would quickly become a favorite material to work with. African Amber Beads are incredibly flexible and easy to work with so it shouldn't surprise anyone to see how dynamic the products at Centric Beads LLC are.

When it comes time to purchase your next African Bead necklace, here are a few reasons to consider giving Centric Beads LLC your business!
