Details

• Bead sizes are measured ranges; handmade wood varies a little from bead to bead within them
• Holes of 1-3mm: most strands take cord, wire or elastic; the diamond cut beads (1mm hole) suit thinner cord and beading wire
• Lightweight natural wood with a waxed metallic gold finish; the shade varies by shape, from light champagne to bronze

Each strand is cut and shaped from natural wood by hand, then painted gold and waxed. Mixing shapes in one warm metallic tone keeps a design cohesive while adding texture, so the set works for stacked bracelets, necklaces, macrame, garlands and home decor. Designers get a full range of shapes and sizes in brass-like gold to plan a whole collection from.
