The brass beads, expertly crafted in the Ashanti region (Kumasi, Ghana), are created using the ancient "Lost Wax" casting technique. Each bead is made from a unique wax mold that is destroyed after casting, making every piece truly one of a kind.

The glass beads, originating from Krobo land in Ghana, are produced using a centuries-old technique. Recycled glass bottles and other glass materials are crushed into a fine powder, carefully placed into molds, and fired in traditional firewood kilns. The result is a breathtaking array of colors and patterns that make each bracelet a unique work of art.

YOUR BRACELET WILL BE IDENTICAL TO THE STRAND SHOWN IN THE PHOTOGRAPH (GIVEN NORMAL VARIATION SINCE THESE BEADS ARE ALL COMPLETELY HANDMADE).

Trade beads hold a significant cultural and historical value in Ghana and across Africa. Once used as currency in trade, they continue to represent a rich heritage of craftsmanship and artistic expression. By wearing this bracelet, you are not only embracing a beautiful accessory but also supporting the artisans who preserve this extraordinary tradition.
