Details

• Bead sizes are measured ranges; natural shell and stone vary from bead to bead within them
• Small holes (under 1mm to 1mm): best on beading wire, fine cord or silk thread
• The shell heishi are rustic, so each disk varies a little in color and shape

Natural beige and grey shell heishi, Kenya copper heishi, sliced lapis lazuli, light green serpentine and green turquoise heishi from Afghanistan, and rose pink vinyl disks from Ghana. Heishi stack into smooth, flexible lines that work as spacers or as the whole design. A versatile base for designers who layer color and texture.
