The tradition of jewelry making in the Ivory Coast is a long practiced and refined custom. Baule beads were highly valuable and sought after in the past and still hold their popularity in modern day African society. Brass Baule beads can be seen being used in creative artwork, bracelets, necklace and waist chains all across West Africa and in places all over the world. Historically Baule beads were used as weights and to measure gold. Tribes across West Africa use the jewelry casting method the lost-wax process to make Baule beads. Some of the oldest evidence of the use of this technique have been discovered in areas of southern Israel, dating back to 3500 BC. The lost-wax process involved a lot of meticulous and interesting steps. Initially the artisan creates a mold from either clay or wax. Once the mold is finished molten wax is poured into it and is pushed around until the mold is evenly coated. Next the wax copy is removed from the mold and is carved and engraved with the artisans desired patterns and markings. Next the wax mold is dipped into either sand or silica to make a sort of ceramic shell for the wax model. Next the ceramic coated model is placed in a kiln and is hardened. Next the hardened mold is tested to see if it has cooled enough. Next molten metal is poured into the mold shell that is made of wax. Once the metal mold is cast the wax is melted and drained away. Once hardened the metal beads look identical to the original wax model.
