Miscellaneous Beads

Included in this category are shell and bone beads which are derived from natural materials. They are sometimes dyed to give unusual colors but are also quite beautiful in their natural state. You’ll be amazed at the wide choice of shapes and sizes that are available in a variety of colors and tend to have a soft brushed look due to the smoothing effect that the ocean and sand have on them.

Other natural beads include those made of wood and ceramic. Wooden beads are available in a variety of wood types and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They tend to be extremely versatile and are easy to work with.

Ceramic beads come in a variety of brilliant as well as natural colors and finishes. The most beautiful ones are made with art glazes which give them a multifaceted depth that is quite appealing. The art glazes behave differently with each firing of the bead so no two pieces will be exactly alike.
