Details

• Bead sizes are measured ranges; natural wood and coconut shell varies from bead to bead within them
• Most holes are 1-2mm for elastic, beading wire or thin cord; the tiny 4mm tubes need fine cord or beading wire

These beads are carved and turned from natural wood and coconut shell, with the grain and color left mostly natural. Mix them in boho and earthy necklaces, macrame and bag charms. For designers, the different shapes and sizes give texture to simple pieces.
