Add an exotic touch to your look with our authentic and unique beads.

Mamaga Comfort Ashie V,

Queen of Logba Alakpeti, Volta Region, Ghana

Add an exotic touch to your look with the authentic African beads from C and L Beads, LLC in Bowie, Maryland. All the beads and African jewelry offered by our family-run business are handcrafted and imported from Ghana and the profits go to support the schools and clinic in the village, and also, to help complete the E.P primary and middle schools, build a library and a playground for the community.

The business got started as a result of my aunt, the late Mamaga Dora Ashie IV, Queen of Logba Alakpeti and Paramount Queen of Logba Traditional Area and my sister. They combine an African authenticity with a beauty that has universal appeal. We guarantee that all of the jewelry that we sell is international, imported, and affordable for the average buyer. The business got started as a result of our sister sending us beaded jewelry from Ghana. We gave them as gifts, and people loved them and were always commenting on how beautiful and elegant they were. They also wanted to know how they could get their hands on more jewelry. For that reason, we started this online store to sell these products to a wider audience. If you are not satisfied with any of our products, we offer a 30-day money back guarantee.

...Serving humanity and mankind. I always knew that I wanted to work with the needy and less fortunate in society. From two villages where the community had little but were resourceful and generous, I wanted to give back by helping people steer their life in a new direction which will make a difference.

Candlbeadsllc is a small business and a Charity fundraising platform but it makes a massive impact in the lives of people and communities. We are a very small team, a Project manager, a Project designer, two volunteer editors and six volunteer fundraisers who work on donors and corporations who would support our cause.

We welcome volunteers who can connect with people who have a passion about making a difference with a cause they care about and also help raise funds.

.....volunteering my time is more a service to my heart than it is to others. It gives me delight and fulfillment in being able to bring smiles, peace and some resolution to those around me through the various activities done in the past.
