Natural & Organic Beads

Eight hardwoods, one warm palette

Eight hardwoods, one warm palette

Named Southeast Asian species, bayong, rosewood, graywood, nangka, robles, bahi palm, madre de cacao, whitewood, in natural finish, so the grain does the talking.

Wood's light weight keeps statement earrings, long necklaces, and malas comfortable, and the larger drill holes take cord and leather. Stocked in 4mm–10mm rounds with rondelles in select species.

Every shape in the pearl vocabulary

Every shape in the pearl vocabulary

Real cultured freshwater pearls in potato, rice, keshi, coin, and baroque, from 2mm seed pearls for delicate layering to 20mm Edison and baroque focals.

Natural whites, pinks, and lavenders sit alongside clearly labeled dyed peacocks and coppers, and a large-hole range strings straight onto leather and cord.

New England's purple and white

New England's purple and white

Cut from the Northern Quahog clam of the New England coast, wampum's violet-and-white layering is entirely natural, never dyed and only a small share of shells run purple deep enough for beads.

A material woven into the history of the Northeast, stocked here as heishi, rondelles, rounds, tubes, and carved shapes.

Southwest color, straight from the shell

The classic partner to turquoise: Spondylus shell from the Sea of Cortez in natural red, orange, and rare purple, color that runs through the bead, no dye.

Heishi, rondelles, rounds, and carved clovers, flowers, and stars, plus ready-made spiny-and-turquoise mix strands for instant Southwest palettes.
