More than just an accessory, this bracelet is a small collection of stories from around the world. Each bead has its own origin and character, from Rwandan paper beads made by hand to Yemenite silver that add a sense of strength and timelessness. African trade beads, with their long history of travel and exchange, bring depth and meaning to the design.

For over 20 years, I’ve collected beads and stones from around the world, found in hidden bead shops, markets, antique stores, and gem shows. Each piece carries a story, and in my home beading studio, I bring those stories to life.
