Ashanti Garland Beads

Ashanti beads are also known as "talking beads." They get their name from the distinct sounds that the various shaped beads make, intended to knock together as a person moves. The name of the beads come from where they are crafted, in the Ashanti region of Ghana. While Ashanti Beads are traditionally worn as jewelry, they can also serve as a gorgeous textural accent when placed around a pillar candle or vase!
