These stunning brass beads are not only a beautiful adornment but also carry rich cultural significance. Made in Ghana by the people of Ashanti, these beads have been part of the region’s history for centuries. The lost wax technique, also known as "cire perdue," involves crafting a wax model for each bead that is encased in clay and fired, melting away the wax and leaving a cavity that is filled with molten brass. The mold is destroyed to retrieve the bead, ensuring every piece is a one-of-a-kind work of art.

Brass beads have been used in African culture for generations, symbolizing wealth, power, and tradition. In Ghana, they continue to play an important role in ceremonies, fashion, and as cherished keepsakes.
