Explore this stunning strand of African brass beads, handcrafted by the people of Ashanti in Ghana, West Africa. Each bead is made using the ancient lost wax technique, ensuring every bead is a unique piece of art. A wax mold is individually prepared for each bead and is destroyed once the bead is cast, making each bead truly one-of-a-kind.
Strand Length: 24 inches (61 cm) - measured from bead to bead.
Bead Size: 12-24 mm in diameter.
These beads are 100% handmade, reflecting the rich history and craftsmanship of the Ashanti people. The lost wax casting technique has been passed down for generations in Ghana, where it holds both cultural and artistic significance. Brass beads have long been a symbol of wealth, power, and tradition in West African communities, particularly in Ghana, where they are used in ceremonies, adornments, and for trade.
