Admire this unusual strand of bone beads from Kenya. While Kenyan bone beads are common in a variety of shapes and styles, these beads come in a hard-to-find spherical shape. East African bone beads are handcrafted by artisans using recycled cow bone. Each bead is individually carved and polished, and is truly one of a kind.
These beads measure approximately 24-29, with a hole size of 3mm. Strands measure approximately 30", and have approximately 30 beads each. Shape of beads may vary slightly from bead to bead ranging from spherical to slightly elongated.
These are a great find for any beader looking to do something truly unique with their work!
I ordered at least 6 different strands from bone, wood, shell and brass. I was so excited to see them once they arrived. They actually looked better in person but that seems to be the case whenever I order from The Bead Chest. They are my go to bead source.
