Discover the enchanting charm of our New Brass Beads, meticulously handcrafted by the skilled artisans of the Ashanti/Asante people in Ghana, West Africa. Each bead on this strand epitomizes the ancient and revered "Lost Wax" technique, where a unique mold is formed for every bead, only to be destroyed after casting, ensuring each piece is one-of-a-kind.
The beads are shaped entirely by hand, boasting authenticity and cultural heritage.
The strand measures approximately 19 1/2" (54.5 cm) in length of beads, with each bead varying between 18 - 20 mm in length and 11 - 12 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).
