Discover the timeless elegance of our new collection featuring handcrafted tabular brass beads from Ghana. Crafted by the skilled artisans of the Ashanti region, each bead embodies a rich tradition carried through generations.

These unique beads are created using the ancient lost-wax technique, a meticulous process where each bead's mold is destroyed to reveal a masterpiece. This ensures that no two beads are the same, offering you a piece of African heritage that is truly one of a kind.

  • Strand Length: Approximately 22 1/4 inches (56.5 cm) bead-to-bead
  • Bead Diameter: 17 - 18 mm

100% handmade, these beads not only represent artistic craftsmanship but also the spirit of African culture.

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 used in creating these beads is an intricate process that begins with a handcrafted wax model. Each model is encased in a clay mold, which is then heated to melt away the wax, leaving a hollow form. Molten brass is poured into this cavity, forming the bead that, once cooled, is cleaned and polished to perfection.

In Ghana, brass beads symbolize wealth and elegance, historically used in royal regalia and significant cultural ceremonies. Owning a strand signifies more than just possession of beautiful adornments; it's an inheritance of culture and artisanal integrity.
