Brass beads hold a special place in Ghanaian culture, symbolizing both status and beauty. For centuries, the "Lost Wax" method has been employed to create intricate designs. Each bead begins with a hand-sculpted wax mold that is covered in clay and later melted away, leaving a one-of-a-kind brass bead. This technique is revered for its precision and the individual craftsmanship required for every single bead.

Brass beads have played a significant role in Ghana’s history, particularly among the Ashanti people, where they are used in adornments for important ceremonies and royal regalia. These beads are more than just decorative – they are a link to centuries of African artistry and tradition.
