Each bead is formed from a uniquely crafted wax mold that is destroyed once the bead is completed, ensuring no two beads are exactly the same.

- Bead Size: Each bead measures approximately 35-38 mm in length and 12-13 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).

The lost wax technique is a fundamental aspect of Ashanti craftsmanship, involving detailed and precise methods where wax models are intricately designed and then melted away, leaving behind beautiful brass beads. This traditional method not only highlights the artisan's skill but also their dedication to preserving an age-old cultural craft.
