Ever since Kate's Tucson Live Sales, we knew the search for unusual focal beads was a job we loved. As you can see by the photo, each bead is special. No two are alike*. Please don't expect any two beads to match- they are sisters, not twins. We're pretty sure you're going to love 'em and want more... just like us.

Size info: Approximately 30 x 11mm, with a 1.8mm hole. 

*Creating Tibetan-style beads requires several steps to complete. There are several ways the dyes and patterns are applied. It can be "batik" style: wax is applied to the agate stone to create the design. Beads are then dipped in colored dye, dried and then the wax is removed to reveal the decoration. Another technique etched: coat the beads in dye and then etch in the design. Etching removes the color and leaves the decoration revealed. With both methods, beads are stabilized with heat to insure colors and design are permanent. 

A note of caution: As much as surfers and swimmers love these Tibetan-style beads, prolonged exposure to water, salt, or perfume can cause fading over time.

Imported from China. 

Sold individually by the bead.
