YOUR STRAND WILL BE IDENTICAL TO THE STRAND SHOWN IN THE PHOTOGRAPH (GIVEN NORMAL VARIATION SINCE THESE BEADS ARE ALL COMPLETELY HANDMADE).

The brass beads are meticulously crafted using the lost wax technique, where each bead is first sculpted from wax. The wax mold is then encased in clay, and once the brass is cast, the mold is broken to reveal the bead. This means that every bead is a one-of-a-kind work of art. This method, practiced for centuries in Africa, particularly in Ghana, holds deep cultural significance, symbolizing wealth, power, and tradition among the Ashanti people.

These stunning brass beads not only reflect Ghana’s rich history but also continue to play a role in contemporary fashion and design. Add these authentic pieces to your collection for a touch of African heritage.
