Penduka's glass beads are hand-made from recycled wine and beer bottles, cast by hearing-impaired Penduka artists.
The brass bead is also handmade and comes from Ghana
 Unfortunately, Namibia does not have a  glass return system in place yet. Waste glass can, therefore be seen everywhere, cynically called 'desert flower' after being thrown out of cars. Penduka has a glass recycling department in which two hearing-impaired women select, clean, pounder, and melt glass, finally polishing it by rubbing it through the sand before making lovely jewelry of it. From Trash to Treasure is their theme.
Every bead is formed by hand and is unique. Through this process, we try to keep the area around Penduka cleaner, create a product you enjoy, and get an income for Olivia and Maria. The Glass beads from the bracelets are available in four colors: light turquoise, green, dark petrol, mixed white/blues. size of bead:0.8 cm weight 50 grams, wrapped in a cotton pouch
The glass beads come on a strong elastic and will fit sizes small to med
