Bone: Large Frog Bead or Pendant These nicely handcarved frog bone beads are drilled top to bottom and would make a great focal point for a necklace. Bead measures 33mm tall and 24mm wide. (25mm~1inch) Sold individually.



Bone: Antiqued hand-carved bead with 3 faces Package of two Hand-carved bone bead, antique-finish, 22x5mm, sold per package of 2. Superbly detailed, this bone bead has 3 faces and is carved on both sides.


Bone: Carved Butterfly Bone Beads These two-sided beads are drilled top to bottom and have exquisite handcarving and detail. They measure 20mm wide and 15mm tall. They are sold individually.


Bone: Hand-carved bone female body bead Sold individually This exceptional bone torso bead is finely hand-carved and aged which helps to accentuate the grain of the bone. Nicely detailed, the bone pendant/bead is 3 dimensional with both a front and back. We have a limited quantity of these and don't see a supply of them too often. Note that the new ones that we've received are antiqued a bit darker than that shown. Would make a great start for a mini art doll or pendant.


Bone: Dark bone carved round tabular beads (10) These great accent beads are handcrafted from bone, stained a dark mahoghany and carved with various motifs. The diameter of the beads are approximately as follows: Circles & Stars: 14mm diameter, 3mm high Circles w/lines: 10mm diameter, 3mm high

Bone: Finely carved skull bone malas. the carving on these skull bone malas is quite nice. Each strand has 108 beads and comes in two sizes: 5x6mm and 7x9mm. These are a really special addition to our ever-growing inventory of skull beads.


Bone: Detailed carved bone skull bead. The detail in these large handcarved white bone skull beads is incredible. Note that this bone has not been aged or smoked and is a creamy white color. Several hanging holes are drilled. Beads measure 32mm long by 15mm wide (remember that 25mm~1 inch!). Made in Indonesia


Bone: Tiny round monkey bone beads. Great little monkey beads, hand-carved in China from bone and antiqued with a wonderful patina.


Bone: Dark Brown Skeleton Bead/Pendant. We fell in love with these skeleton bead/pendants! They measure a generous 45mm high and 25mm wide. The 1-2mm hole is at the top. Nicely carved and ebony-stained, theses beads will be fabulous in all of your Day of the Dead projects!

Bone: Spectacular Bone Scrimshaw Turtle Beads. What a find! These bone turtle beads are finely carved with scrimshaw detailing on the the tortoise shell.

Bone: Adinkra Gye Nyame Batik Beads. Two designs and two sizes for these stunning batik beads--the West African Adinkra symbol, Gye Nyame ("except for God" -- the symbol of the supremacy of God) adorns them both. This unique and beautiful symbol is ubiquitous in Ghana. It is by far the most popular for use in decoration, a reflection on the deeply religious character of the Ghanaian people. The smaller ebony brown wood bead with ivory-colored markings measures 3/4" square and the larger blonde wood bead with ivory markings and hand-painted black outline is 1" square. Both beads are drilled from top to bottom. For a limited time, we are offering these by the strand. The smaller batik bone beads have 10 beads to a strand and the larger ones have 9 beads per strand. Would make great necklace or earring components.

Bone: Hanging Bone Skeleton Beads. These hand-carved skeleton beads come in two finishes: light aged bone and ebony. (Your choice) Substantial holes have been drilled in the hands, arms, torso and feet so the skeleton can appear to be climbin or hanging from its cord. Each skeleton bead is 1.25" long. Made in China.

Bone: Round Indonesian Carved Bone Moon Face Bead. Similar in quality to our oval Indonesian carved face beads, these round face beads are a creamy white bone with detailed moon face carving. The beads are approximately 25mm in diameter and are sold individually. Please see the photo for the placement of the holes on the back.

Bone: 2 Sided Poker Playing Card Tile Beads. These bone poker playing card tile beads are similar to our mah jongg tile beads except that they are patterned after a standard deck of poker cards. The beads are two-sided and are drilled top to bottom. They are 25mm high and 19mm wide. The hole is approximately 1mm. They are carved and the color is inlaid (painted). They are not perfectly done (there's some coloring outside the lines!) but we think that adds to their charm!

Bone: Antiqued Bone Dragon Bead/Pendant These wonderful bead/pendants are handcarved with the popular dragon motif. For the ultimate in flexibility, these pendants are drilled from front to back through the dragon's teeth and have two other holes: one through the side of the teeth and the other through the jaw. The pendants range from 25-27mm long and 9-11mm in diameter.

Bone carved sun figure pendant. These carved bone pendants are handcrafted with a figure and sun motif. The pendant measures 18mm wide by 33 mm tall (that's .75" by 1.25") and has a 2mm hole for hanging. Nicely carved.

Carved Indonesian oval bone bead faces
We've been looking for these beads for a very long time and have finally found them. Unlike our Indonesian cabochons, these are beads which have two holes on the reverse for stringing onto your necklace project! The handcarving, done in the traditional Indonesian style, is wonderful. These beads measure 26mm long by 20mm wide and would also make great pendants! Remember that 25mm is equal to one inch.

White bone tribal motif round beads
You'll get 10 of these uniquely marked tribal white bone beads. Each bead is a rondelle with a fairly large 2-3mm hole. The beads are 8mm tall and are 10mm in diameter. The markings on the beads are a pattern of small circles--on some of the beads this pattern is quite prominent, while on others it is faint. We've tried to include a range of these markings on each strand. All are hand made so the actual markings on your selection of beads may vary from that shown. Very vintage looking but these are new white bone beads. Limited availability.


large scrimshaw elephant bone beads
Finally back in stock! We have these large handcarved bone elephant beads with scrimshaw markings and handpainted detail. The beads measure 35mm long and 25mm high. Drilled through the elephant's back through to the feet.


Handcarved butterfly bone bead/pendant
This oversized handcarved bone butterfly pendant is a bit more rustic than our scrolled butterfly pendant. This one measures 2-1/4 inches wide and 1-1/2 inches high. It would make a great pendant or a unique focal point bead on a tribal-inspired necklace. Drilled through the body of the butterfly (2-3mm hole), you can also use the antenna to weave fibers through to make a unique necklace. Handcarving is on both sides.
