Unique Handcrafted Tabular Ashanti Brass Beads – Traditional Elegance

Discover the exquisite variety of our New Tabular Brass Beads Strand, skillfully handcrafted by the Ashanti artisans in Ghana using the ancient lost wax technique. Every bead in this strand begins as a hand-sculpted wax model, each one uniquely crafted and then destroyed to create these individual brass treasures.

• Bead Diameter: Ranging from 19 to 22 mm, offering a delightful variety of sizes

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

These tabular brass beads are not just decorative elements; they are embodiments of traditional Ghanaian craftsmanship and Ashanti cultural heritage. Each bead's distinct shape and texture make this strand ideal for collectors and designers who value unique, handcrafted jewelry with a story.

The Art of Lost Wax Casting and its Impact on Ashanti Bead Making

The lost wax technique, a fundamental skill of the Ashanti artisans, involves an intricate process where wax molds are individually designed and then melted away, leaving behind brass beads of extraordinary detail. This method ensures that each bead is not only unique but also a piece of art, reflecting the deep-rooted artistic traditions of Ghana.
