The strand measures bead-to-bead, offering a gorgeous addition to any collection or jewelry-making project.

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

These brass beads are made by skilled artisans from the Ashanti region in Ghana. The "Lost wax" casting process is a revered tradition, passed down through generations. This method requires creating a handmade wax mold for each bead, which is destroyed after casting, making each bead entirely one-of-a-kind.

Brass beads have a long history in Ghana, where they have been worn as symbols of wealth, status, and tradition. Used in ceremonies, and personal adornment, these beads carry cultural significance and represent the rich artistic heritage of the region.
