The Lost wax Collection | Grand Rosé Heritage Necklace

The Lost wax Collection | Grand Rosé Heritage Necklace

Handcrafted in Ghana, this unique necklace brings together softly translucent rosé glass beads with sculptural brass details. The beads were specifically made for us from recycled glass in this rare pink hue, while the intricate brass pendant is cast by Ashanti artisans using the traditional lost-wax technique.

The elegant blush tones of the glass create a delicate contrast with the rich golden brass. Through a process of careful craftsmanship, reclaimed materials are transformed into a piece that feels both contemporary and timeless.

A quietly elegant expression of the excellence and creativity of Ghanaian artisans, traditional techniques and thoughtful design come together in this statement necklace.

Who made it?

The artisans behind your product

A dense, colorful display of coiled beaded bracelets or necklaces made of small round beads, arranged in overlapping bundles of blue, purple, yellow, green, pink, brown, black, and white.

Our partner

Out of fascination for the west African beading tradition, we started working with two artisan groups in Accra and Kumasi during a field trip in 2024. One is based in the outskirts of Ghana's capital and recycles glass bottles to a myriad of colourful shapes of beads.

Modernity & Heritage

All across Ghana, textile and beading vintage pieces can be discovered, showing the extraordinary craftsmanship of West African artisans, some reminiscent of the early trade connections to Europe, such as beads from Venetian or Bohemian glassmakers, wax fabric from Indonesia over the Netherlands to be reinvented West Africa. These red vintage beads have become part of our collection, as a limited series.

Lost Wax casting

In the former capital of the Ashanti kingdom, known for its refined and unique goldsmiths, we have collaborated with two brass artisans who still master the craft of lost wax casting: every piece is formed in wax and later casted with recycled brass. The mould only works once, which is why every single piece is one-of-a kind.

Unique skills

The incredible skills of this artisans collective, operating from the brass village at the outskirts of Kumasi is humbling. Every single element was formed by hand, then covered with clay, dried, recovered and then burnt. The void gets filled with liquid brass which then cools down and gets cracked open. The mould breaks and the final piece appears to get polished to be mounted on your necklace.
