Description
- Strand of round and bicone lost wax cast beads from Ghana
- 22-inch strand with 27 beads
- Sizes range from 12 to 19mm diameter
- This strand is priced lower than usual because the beads have more than usual number of small flaws.
- In addition to low price they have the advantage of offering a mix of sizes & shapes
- Each of these beads is first made in wax. The wax is covered by clay, the clay is heated and the wax runs out through openings left for that purpose. Molten recycled metal is poured in. After cooling, the clay mold is broken open and each unique bead is removed and cleaned.
- In this long, delicate and laborious process it's inevitable that some beads are not perfect.
