Details

• Bead sizes are measured ranges; handmade glass, bone, paper and natural stone vary from bead to bead within them, and shades of green vary from strand to strand
• Holes from 1mm to 3mm: the turquoise heishi needs wire or fine cord; the saucers, rondelles and bone fit cord or leather
• The paper beads are handmade in Uganda from recycled newspaper
