Polynesian Kukui Nuts.
Traditionally used in leis as a welcome token. The hard shell of the nut is polished or coloured and drilled. The beads vary in colour and size. They are chunky, ultra light and make ideal accents in jewellery.
Bone (farmed water buffalo)Bone is easily carved, drilled, dyed and polished. Historically, it has been used in adornment as long as man has hunted. Man has used the teeth, bone, feathers and even vertebrae to create all sorts of ornamentation including breastplates as worn by Native American Indians. The extremely skilled carvers use a handheld grinding wheel to produce intricately carved pieces. Bone is often dyed using tea and more vibrant colours.
Horn (farmed water buffalo)Horn is from farmed buffalo. Colour ranges from golden amber to black and white/grey. Prices vary according to rarity of the colour. White/grey being the most expensive. Horn is naturally dense, yet very lightweight, and can last longer than most natural materials. Golden horn beads look as good as natural amber but without the higher cost.
Wood (planation pine)Most of our wooden bead range is produced in the Czech Republic. Sizes range from 8mm to 20mm and available in many colours. Some beads are painted in folk designs using a lead free paint.
