For centuries, these hand-crafted beads doubled as a primitive form of currency in parts of Ethiopia and Ghana – ironically the two countries where this ancient art-form is seeing a widespread revival. Brass Beads continue to serve as a symbol of status in some parts of east Africa. Many antique brass beads from Africa were handmade using the “lost wax” process adopted by native craftsmen – a largely unevolved technique whereby molten metal is poured into a hardened, handmade wax cast and allowed to set. The metal adheres to the various whorls and strips of wax, which in turn begins to melt away as intense heat emanates from the ore. As it cools, the molten brass hardens, taking on the very same characteristics as the wax mold - usually a cross-hatched, ringed or woven design to support the bead's hollow structure. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.thebeadchest.com\/collections\/ghana-brass-filigree-beads\"\u003eAshanti Brass Beads\u003c\/a\u003e produced by Ghanaian tribespeople are by far the most elaborate in comparison to the efforts of Ethiopia's Borana tribe. Kenya is also known for its solid brass beads which are now highly sought after in the West. Their smooth finish, coupled with their likeness to natural heishi beads makes Kenyan brass beads a versatile choice for contemporary stringing projects and brass jewelry. At The Bead Chest, we are proud to carry one of the largest selections of African brass beads, antique brass, and ethnic \u0026amp; tribal brass beads on the web.","published_at":"2016-04-02T08:48:00-07:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"product_metafield_definition","relation":"equals","condition":"Brass"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Bead"}],"published_scope":"global"},{"id":322183823515,"handle":"couponable","title":"Couponable","updated_at":"2025-03-08T00:06:14-08:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2024-11-15T11:15:03-08:00","sort_order":"alpha-asc","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"Couponable"}],"published_scope":"global"},{"id":319572738203,"handle":"everyday-value-finds","title":"Everyday Value Finds","updated_at":"2025-03-08T00:02:37-08:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2024-10-04T10:20:34-07:00","sort_order":"alpha-asc","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"variant_price","relation":"greater_than","condition":"5"},{"column":"variant_price","relation":"less_than","condition":"15.01"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Bead"}],"published_scope":"global"},{"id":197664604315,"handle":"large-hole-beads","title":"Large Hole Beads","updated_at":"2025-03-08T00:05:06-08:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2020-05-19T12:05:51-07:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"product_metafield_definition","relation":"greater_than","condition":"1.8"}],"published_scope":"global"},{"id":190132997,"handle":"metal-beads","title":"Metal Beads","updated_at":"2025-03-08T00:02:31-08:00","body_html":"Ornate and beautiful, African Metal Beads have long been an expressive art medium for indigenous tribes of the Southern and Eastern Capes. Their versatility as both a currency and symbol of status has vastly improved the fortunes of many impoverished regions, and borne an art form that continues to be imparted by ancestors to younger generations. Focal African Copper Beads are thought to be among the earliest formats produced using the “lost wax” method; an ancient Tuareg technique involving the use of hollow wax molds to shape and set molten metal. Ductile and soft, copper is one of the easiest metals to manipulate into elaborate shapes, which is why you'll find the vast majority of Copper Beads here at The Bead Chest are characterised by intricate designs and filigree work. Ethiopian Heishi Beads produced prior to the 1950's also utilised this method, and historians suggest the ancient Tuareg technique may have paved the way for the cage-like Baoule Brass Beads now produced in abundance along the Ivory Coast. Africa's popular White Metal Beads are a more recent innovation. They are commonly produced using recyclable alloys, such as aluminium, sourced from discarded cans and industrial roofing. Metal Beads tend to be far less elaborate in character than their copper counterparts owing to the process by which they are made. Both Tube and Heishi Beads are produced using the “winding” technique – a process whereby the metal is heated until malleable, before winding it around a mandrel and hammering it into shape. This technique allows for greater uniformity when crafting smaller beads, making them ideal for bead-weaving and peyote style projects.","published_at":"2016-04-02T08:49:00-07:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"Metal"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Bead"}],"published_scope":"global"},{"id":371883081,"handle":"metal-spacer-beads","updated_at":"2025-03-07T10:30:03-08:00","published_at":"2017-04-21T12:22:33-07:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","published_scope":"global","title":"Metal Spacer Beads","body_html":""},{"id":191287621,"handle":"round-beads","title":"Round Beads","updated_at":"2025-03-08T00:05:06-08:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2016-04-08T05:44:00-07:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"product_metafield_definition","relation":"equals","condition":"Round"}],"published_scope":"global"},{"id":329238085787,"handle":"small-beads","title":"Small Beads (4 to 8mm)","updated_at":"2025-03-08T00:05:37-08:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2025-03-05T16:07:01-08:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"product_metafield_definition","relation":"greater_than","condition":"3"},{"column":"product_metafield_definition","relation":"less_than","condition":"9"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Bead"}],"published_scope":"global"},{"id":304599957659,"handle":"test","title":"TEST","updated_at":"2025-03-08T00:06:14-08:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2024-03-19T16:27:57-07:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"variant_price","relation":"greater_than","condition":"0"}],"published_scope":"web"}]
