Introducing our stunning New Round Brass Beads Strand, meticulously handcrafted by the Ashanti artisans in Ghana using the revered ancient lost wax technique. Each bead begins as a handmade wax mold, designed individually and destroyed once the bead is cast, ensuring every piece is one-of-a-kind.
Product Details:
- Strand Length: Approximately 20 3/4 inches (52.5 cm) from bead to bead
- Bead Diameter: Each bead measures approximately 11-13 mm
YOUR STRAND WILL BE IDENTICAL TO THE STRAND SHOWN IN THE PHOTOGRAPH (GIVEN NORMAL VARIATION SINCE THESE BEADS ARE ALL COMPLETELY HANDMADE).
These beads are not only beautiful but also steeped in the rich cultural heritage of Ghana. They embody the traditional craftsmanship and artistic spirit of the Ashanti people, making them a valuable addition to any jewelry collection or artistic project.
The Art of Lost Wax Casting and Its Significance in Ashanti Culture
The lost wax process involves intricate and precise craftsmanship, where wax molds are made for each bead and then melted away after brass casting. This ancient technique not only ensures the uniqueness of each bead but also serves as a testament to the Ashanti artisans' commitment to preserving their cultural traditions through art.
