Rustic bone decor bead

Bone beads symbolise Africa’s cultural tradition of ensuring nothing goes to waste, ensuring a more sustainable way of living. All across Africa(Kano), carving beads from recycled cow bone is centuries old and the custom of making the beads still continues today.

The beads are hand-carved and shaped by skilled craftsmen from Nigeria. Once shaped, the beads then go through a roping process to create the final design. Due to the natural nature of the beads, all beads will vary slightly and natural markings may occur.
