Product Details

Admire these unusual barrel-shaped white bone beads from Kenya. While Kenyan bone beads are common in a variety of shapes and styles, these beads come in a harder-to-find shape. East African bone beads are handcrafted by artisans using recycled cow bone. Each bead is individually carved and polished, and is truly one of a kind. These beads measure approximately 25-27 x 22-24mm, with a hole size of 3mm. Strands measure approximately 26", and have approximately 20 beads each. Shade of carved design may vary between dark black and grey and color of beads will be a shade of off-white. These are a great find for any beader looking to do something truly unique with their work!

Gray Kenya bone beadd

Love them, however they need to be washed or wiped off good. The color or dye could get on your clothes, especially if making necklaces.

Batik Bone Beads

Love them! Wish they were a little longer but they work perfectly with my decor. I highly suggest them and combine with another strand of beads that are longer in length.
