Antique African Cast Bronze and Amber Beads

This stunning strand features hand-cast bronze tube beads paired with warm, polished amber beads, creating a rich interplay of texture and tone. The bronze elements, with their intricate ridged patterns, are crafted using the traditional lost-wax casting technique—an artform practiced by Tuareg artisans across the Sahel region, including Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso.

The amber beads, prized across West Africa for their warmth and spiritual symbolism, add a vibrant yet earthy contrast. Historically associated with protection, healing, and status, amber has been a treasured material in African trade and adornment for centuries.

This piece can be worn as a necklace, styled as a decorative strand, or displayed in a curated collection of meaningful objects.
