Here's what we have new and restocked in our bone beads today!

Note that we now have medium turtle beads that have nice detail on the turtle legs. Limited initial availability on these but we can restock.





These large handcarved bone elephant beads are large. They measure nearly 2 inches at its widest point. They are two sides -- the detailed carving is on both the front and the back.





This unusual bone pendant is handcarved with a skull and crossbones and other decorative touches. The pendant measures 1.5 inches long and 1 inch wide.


And last but not least we have restocked the carved Indonesian bone face bead cabochons!
