We offer Sterling Silver beads that are handmade in Turkey, India and occasionally Bali. Look for spacer beads, heishes, rondelles and more!
Sterling Silver beads that are handmade in Turkey and Bali are really a "cut above"! Excellent workmanship abounds in all of these bead styles. You'll find patterns that are similar to "Bali Style" beads that are made in India - but the details are finer and the weight per bead tends to be lighter.
