Admire this unusual strand of bone beads from Kenya. While Kenyan bone beads are common in a variety of shapes and styles, these beads come in a more unusual faceted 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 13-15 x 20-22mm, with a hole size of 3mm. Strands measure approximately 26", and have approximately 40 beads each. These beads are a very dark brown batik color which many might consider black.
These are a great find for any beader looking to do something truly unique with their work!
Symmetrical and beautiful love all the bone beads; I purchased several styles, all very high quality. Thanks for the super fast delivery and the discount! Glad I joined the VIP!
Gorgeous, huge diamond-faceted bone beads. All the beads on the strand I received have wooden centers for stability. Really nice polish on these beauties.
I thought it was a single strain when I purchased it, unfortunately it is connected. One bead has a crack thru it. It’s very nice otherwise. Glad I ordered it. Would order again. Nice color.
