Created by a family of expert artisans in Southern Mexico, these rustic beads are a beautiful way to count the gifts of daily living. Roughly 36 beads are hand-threaded onto handmade agave string, knotted, and finished with a handmade tassel made from soft wool that is washed, carded and spun by hand on a traditional drop spindle. Every bead is rolled by hand and pit fired outside using traditional techniques. Hang these sustainable, well-crafted beads from a wall, or in place in a bowl on your bedside or entryway table.

The wool for the tassel is made by hand by an artisan in the highlands of Southern Mexico, and is what is used to create the textiles. This material is laborious as she washes, cards and spins the wool entirely by hand, using traditional processes that have been in place for centuries.
