African Vinyl Beads for DIY Jewelry Making

The Bead Chest, a brand that offers unique beads to set your designs apart, collaborates with developing communities across Africa to bring you some of the world's most beautiful, handmade beading treasures. All items sourced directly by The Bead Chest are fair trade, enabling the company to support creative jewelry designers with quality beading supplies while simultaneously supporting developing communities.

The Bead Chest's extensive collection of over 3,000 unique designs allows designers and interior decorators to unleash their creativity and craft unique jewelry and decor that radiates cultural charm. Unlike ordinary bead companies, The Bead Chest partners with artisans around the world to bring their unique products to global markets, each bead telling a story.

One such story is that of Samuel, a bone bead artisan from Kenya who creates African batik bone beads. The Bead Chest's unique business model allows it to support these artisans while providing designers with quality beading supplies.

Customers should note that the majority of The Bead Chest's products are handmade, so the tone, brightness, and/or color of the received product 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. Multiple strands may be pictured, but each strand is sold individually.

The Bead Chest offers Ghanaian vinyl beads that are perfect for crafting custom necklaces, bracelets, and waist beads. These beads measure 1 x 10mm with a hole size of 1mm and are 29 inches around. They are great beads for jewelry design and are an official product of The Bead Chest.
