Authentic African Brass Beads from Ghana - Handmade 26" Strand

These authentic African brass beads are handcrafted in Ghana by skilled artisans using the ancient lost wax technique. Each bead is meticulously crafted, with a wax mold created by hand and then destroyed after casting, making every bead a unique piece of art.

Your strand will feature a rich collection of beads that vary in diameter from 11 mm to 24 mm. This ensures diverse, bold designs perfect for jewelry making or cultural adornments.

Your strand will be identical to the strand shown in the photograph (given normal variation since these beads are all completely handmade).

• Strand length: 26" (66 cm) – Measured from bead to bead.
• Bead size: 11-24 mm in diameter

The beads are 100% handmade by the people of Ashanti in Ghana, a process that preserves centuries of tradition. The lost wax technique, in which a wax mold is shaped for each individual bead and then destroyed to reveal the final brass creation, reflects the care and skill passed down through generations.

Brass beads have a deep cultural significance in Ghana, often used in traditional ceremonies and symbolizing wealth, status, and beauty. These beads are not just for crafting—they represent the art and heritage of African craftsmanship.
