Introducing our stunning New Round Brass Beads Strand, each bead exquisitely handcrafted by the Ashanti artisans of Ghana using the time-honored lost wax technique. Every bead is formed from a uniquely made wax mold, which is destroyed to ensure the exclusivity of each bead.
Product Details:
- Strand Length: Approximately 20 1/2 inches (52 cm) from bead to bead
- Bead Diameter: Each bead is 13-14 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 round brass beads not only display superb craftsmanship but also encapsulate the rich cultural heritage of the Ashanti people. Their uniform size and beautiful finish make them ideal for creating distinctive jewelry pieces or enhancing any fashion ensemble.
The Lost Wax Technique and Its Cultural Significance
The lost wax technique, a staple in traditional Ashanti craftsmanship, involves intricate steps where wax molds are individually designed and then destroyed during the casting process. This method not only ensures the uniqueness of each bead but also maintains a link to Ghanaian artistic traditions and cultural history.
