Details

• Bead sizes are measured ranges; natural stone, bone and handmade glass vary from bead to bead within them
• Holes from 1mm to 3mm: the stone strands (#2, #4, #5) are best on beading wire or fine cord; the glass, metal and bone strands also take cord and elastic
• Lapis and brown jade are from Afghanistan, the bone saucers are handmade in Nepal and the Ashanti glass is made in Ghana

One shape across four materials: Ghanaian powder glass, Afghan turquoise, lapis and jade, silver-tone metal and Nepali bone, all cut as flat saucers that stack neatly. Use them as spacers, layer them into heishi-style stacks, or mix sizes for graduated necklaces. A versatile set for designers who like texture and a calm, natural palette.
