This Handcrafted Recycled Glass Beaded Necklace 'Bright Universe' by Independent Artisans is a one-of-a-kind and dramatic accessory. Designed by Kwaku Ofosuhene Apenteng, the stretch necklace is crafted by hand using recycled glass beads in shades of cobalt and goldenrod. The piece reflects the artisan's journey from business to wood carving, and his commitment to blending tradition with originality.
Born in Eastern Ghana, this artisan left a business career to follow his passion for wood carving, inspired by a cousin who introduced him to the craft. Over the years, he mastered techniques of carving, finishing, and decorating with brass and beads, creating distinctive masks and sculptures. With dedication and perseverance, he established his own workshop in Aburi, where he now trains others and experiments with innovative finishes. His collaboration with Novica has supported his family, helping his children through college and providing him with a home of his own. Today, he is proud to be the breadwinner of his family and a mentor to aspiring carvers. Each piece he creates reflects Ghana’s artistry, blending tradition with originality, and speaks to a journey of resilience, creativity, and gratitude.
Handcrafted in Ghana from recycled glass beads and nylon, this necklace has an S-hook or hook clasp. It measures 18 inches in length and 1.6 inches in width. The piece promotes recycling and reduces waste.
