Discover the Craftsmanship of New Tabular African Brass Beads

Experience the unique beauty of our New Tabular brass beads, meticulously handcrafted in Ghana by the skilled Ashanti artisans using the ancient lost wax technique. Each bead is formed through a delicate process where a mold is prepared and then destroyed to extract the bead, ensuring that every piece is one-of-a-kind.

Specifications:

  • Strand Length: Approximately 20 1/2" (52 cm) of beads
  • Bead Size: Approximately 27 x 10 x 8 mm

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

These exquisite beads are not only a testament to African heritage but also embody the cultural richness of Ghana. The lost wax technique, a revered art form, involves intricately hand-molding wax into detailed designs, which are then encased in clay. As the mold is heated, the wax melts away, leaving a perfect cavity for molten brass. This intricate process results in stunning, one-of-a-kind beads that are as unique as they are beautiful.

Historically, brass beads have been significant in Ghanaian culture, used not only as adornments but also as tokens of status, trade, and heritage. Owning these beads connects you to a rich, enduring legacy of Ghanaian artistry and the vibrant life force of Africa.
