Handcrafted White Glass Bead with Rustic Woven Cord & Copper Accents.

Forged from hand-blown white glass and meticulously hand-painted with a charming tribal eye motif (vibrant blue eyes framed by bold black and red stripes), this focal bead is a true one-of-a-kind work of art. No two beads share identical brushstrokes—each tiny imperfection and playful detail is a mark of human craft, making your bracelet irreplaceable. The accompanying woven cord, crafted in muted gray and deep black with frayed tassels and warm copper accents, echoes the rustic textile traditions of African tribes, wrapping the bead in a textured, authentic embrace that honors its heritage. Small white square glass beads and a colorful accent bead at the closure add subtle layers of boho charm, completing the tribal aesthetic.

🧴 Care Instructions

• Avoid contact with harsh chemicals (perfume, lotion, chlorine) to preserve the hand-painted patterns and cord colors.
• Gently wipe the glass bead with a soft, dry cloth for cleaning; do not submerge in water (water may fade the hand-painted design).
• Store in a dry, cool jewelry box or soft fabric pouch away from direct sunlight to prevent paint fading and cord tangling.
• Handle with care—glass beads are fragile; avoid dropping or knocking against hard surfaces.
• For the knotted cord: Spot-clean only with a damp cloth, then air-dry completely before wearing to maintain its rustic weave and prevent fraying.
