Rustic Cross-Etched Dark Bone Beads Wholesale Pack of 50 | Made in Kibera, Kenya

Looking for beads that bring warmth, antique character, and raw textural depth to your jewelry creations? These hand-carved cross-etched dark bone beads offer a rich, vintage aesthetic that instantly elevates any handmade design.

Hand-sculpted in Kibera, Nairobi (Kenya), each oval bead is carved from upcycled cow bone, stained in a deep mahogany-chestnut batik finish, and incised with crisp off-white 'X' grooves. The carved crosshatch details cut through the dark surface to reveal the bone's natural ivory tone beneath, creating a rustic contrast that pair brilliantly with brass, amber, leather, or trade glass beads.
