Cut, drilled and strung by hand in Gambia, this Legend of Asia strand carries dozens of chalk-white discs with the softened, sun-bleached surface of true vintage beads. No two discs match: thickness, diameter and patina shift along the strand, and small chips are left in place as evidence that these african beads were made piece by piece rather than moulded. Generously long, the bead strand doubles over a hook, hangs beside a mirror, or coils comfortably into a wide bowl. Use the shell beads as bowl filler on a coffee table, drape the white beads across a tray, or layer them with baskets and linen for easy coastal decor. Indoor display protects the cord. Quietly textural decorative beads for tabletop decor and relaxed, collected home decor.
