Introducing our exquisite New Tabular Brass Beads Strand, meticulously handcrafted by the Ashanti artisans of Ghana using the revered ancient lost wax technique. Each bead is formed from a hand-sculpted wax mold, which is destroyed after the bead is cast, ensuring that each piece is completely unique.

Product Details:

  • Strand Length: Approximately 24 inches (61 cm) from bead to bead
  • Bead Diameter: Each bead measures between 19 and 22 mm

YOUR STRAND WILL BE IDENTICAL TO THE STRAND SHOWN IN THE PHOTOGRAPH (GIVEN NORMAL VARIATION SINCE THESE BEADS ARE ALL COMPLETELY HANDMADE).

This collection features a variety of tabular beads that showcase the exceptional craftsmanship of Ghanaian artisans and the intricate possibilities of the lost wax casting technique. These beads are not just ornamental; they carry a piece of Ghanaian heritage, making them ideal for collectors and designers seeking unique, culturally rich jewelry components.

Lost Wax Casting: The Artistic Backbone of Ashanti Bead Making

The lost wax process involves detailed and precise craftsmanship, where wax models are intricately designed and then melted away to leave finely detailed brass beads. This age-old technique not only preserves the traditional methods of the Ashanti but also ensures that each bead’s uniqueness and artistic integrity are maintained, making them truly one-of-a-kind.
