Cedi Beads emerged as the most interesting place that I visited this week. This vibrant and culturally significant bead-making establishment provided a unique insight into local craftsmanship and artistic expression. As the week comes to a close, Ghana continues to unveil its multifaceted beauty, blending nature and cultures into an immersive and enriching experience.
This industry has been around for a long time and is used as a source of sustainability and income. These beads are often handmade using various materials such as glass from recycled glass bottles and powdered glass for pigment.
A lot of raw materials often go to waste and ultimately are exported out to foreign countries for them to utilize and recycle the materials. But with this industry, they can make an income from these accessories. They come in vibrant colors and unique patterns, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Ghana. The beads hold cultural significance and are used in ceremonies, rituals, and as decorative accessories.
