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 hard-to-find 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. Shade of brown may vary slightly from photo.
These are a great find for any beader looking to do something truly unique with their work!
These warm, elevate, and update home decor beautifully. They aren't as fluid in movement so you can't arrange them in as many ways as you can with round beads, but the hexagon shape is so awesome that it's worth it. The twine looks great, too.
I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase. This was my first time ordering from The Bead Chest and I'm 100% pleased. As an interior designer who sources product for clients I will continue to work with The Bead Chest without hesitation.
