Strung one bead at a time in West Africa, this Legend of Asia strand carries the deep red of natural coral across dozens of hand-cut pieces. Each bead is shaped, drilled and polished individually, so tone, diameter and finish vary along the strand, giving these african beads the irregular rhythm that moulded imitations never manage. The coral beads hang in a long, easy loop and coil neatly into a dish or bowl. Use the bead strand as bowl filler on a coffee table, drape the red beads over a stack of books, or loop them across a tray for instant tabletop decor. Indoor display is recommended to protect the cord. Layered with baskets, wood and brass, these decorative beads bring warmth and tribal decor texture to relaxed, collected home decor.
