It is important to note that the majority of The Bead Chest products are handmade, which means that the tone, brightness, and/or color of the product received may vary from the photo. Additionally, any sizes and/or bead counts mentioned are approximations and may vary up to 10-15% from the stated number.

These authentic African beads are made of 100% recycled glass, with master artisans collecting used materials and crushing them down into a fine powder before creating these beautiful beads. They are perfect for your own necklaces, bracelets, and jewelry, or can be worn as-is.

Each unit purchased will include a full 24" strand consisting of approximately 60 beads, with each bead measuring approximately 7-9 x 9mm and having a hole size of 2-3mm. The beads are typically strung on cotton or raffia, as shown in the photo.
