Introducing a captivating strand of African brass beads, meticulously handcrafted by the renowned artisans of Ghana. Each bead on this strand exemplifies the ancient "Lost wax" technique, a testament to the cultural heritage of Africa.

Details:

  • Length of strand: Approximately 23" (58 cm) from bead to bead
  • Bead size: Varies from 27 to 30 mm in length and 10 mm in diameter

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 formed using a unique wax mold that is destroyed after each bead is crafted, ensuring that every piece is one of a kind. This technique not only highlights the bead’s uniqueness but also its rich linkage to Ghanaian traditions.

Learn about the Lost Wax Technique: This ancient method involves using a wax model to form a mold, which is then filled with molten brass. Once the metal sets, the wax is melted away, leaving behind a beautifully detailed bead. This labor-intensive process showcases the skill and creativity of Ghanaian artisans.

Historical and Cultural Significance: Brass beads in Ghana are not just ornaments; they are a form of currency and a symbol of wealth and status. They hold significant cultural value and are often used in traditional ceremonies and as heirlooms.
