Unlike ordinary bead companies, each bead we offer tells a story, like that of Samuel, a bone bead artisan from Kenya who makes African batik bone beads.

The Bead Chest partners with artisans around the world to bring their unique products to global markets. Please note that due to the handmade nature of our products, the tone, brightness, and/or color of the item 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.

With over 3,000 unique designs, you're sure to find the perfect beads for all your jewelry and crafting needs. Each purchase includes 5 beads, measuring approximately 5 x 18mm with a hole size of approximately 1mm. These gorgeous beads are the product of quality craftsmanship and carry a story behind them.
