Boho Chic Bracelet Tribal Bone, Vintage Resin, Clay and African Lost Wax Brass

Tribal Beads

Tribal beads, also known as ethnic or trade beads, are commonly made from recycled and natural materials like bone, brass, clay, glass, resin, fabric, etc. 

Those unique rustic-beauty beads are hand crafted in many different regions throughout the African continent. They are made by independent bead makers and by African indigenous tribes and ethnic groups.

Because of the rustic manufacturing, African beads have irregularities in shape, size and color, which makes every piece “perfectly imperfect” and with a particular irresistible beauty in the eyes of those who value the art embodied on them.
