Penduka's glass beads are hand-made from recycled wine and beer bottles, cast by hearing-impaired Penduka artists.
 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. At Penduka's glass recycling department the artist clean, pounder, and melt glass, finally polishing it by rubbing it through the sand before making lovely jewelry of it.
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 necklaces are available in four colors: clear translucent, blue translucent, brown translucent, and green translucent.
