Explore the remarkable craftsmanship of our Beautiful Matching Strand of Handmade Brass Beads, meticulously crafted by the Ashanti artisans of Ghana using the ancient lost wax technique. 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.

Product Details:

  • Strand Length: Approximately 21 3/4 inches (55 cm) from bead to bead
  • 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).

These beads not only enhance any jewelry collection but also embody the rich cultural heritage of the Ashanti people, with each bead reflecting the spirit and history of traditional Ghanaian artistry. They are perfect for those who value unique, culturally significant artifacts.

The Art of Lost Wax Casting and Its Significance to Ashanti Bead Making

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.
