The brass beads are handcrafted in Ghana’s Ashanti region (Kumasi) using the ancient lost wax technique. Each bead requires a unique wax mold that is destroyed after casting, ensuring that every piece is truly one of a kind.
The Krobo people of Ghana create the vibrant glass beads using a sustainable method—recycling glass bottles into a fine powder, which is then placed into clay molds and fired in a traditional firewood kiln. This centuries-old technique results in exquisite beads that carry cultural significance and beauty.
