    Gift wrapping by itaitoimports

    wrapped in craft paper with silver paint design and raffia ribbon with real evergreen snipping (we are in Maine!)

These VERY tiny 1.5mm beads are made from recycled white metal and each bead is hand-forged and hand polished using found metal from Ethiopia. This centuries old metal-smithing technique gives each bead a unique and slightly irregular shape. You can really see the handwork and craftsmanship in how the metal is forged and shaped. These beads are fair trade, we buy directly from a group work coop Artisans in Ethiopia.

Approximate Number of Beads: 450
Bead Size: 1.5mm x 1mm
Hole Size: 1mm
Strand Length: 28"

ita ito: string together

Our business is rooted in our love of hand craftsmanship, history, and authenticity. We work carefully to source items that are uniquely hand-made as well as hard to find vintage items from remote areas in Africa. Sourced from materials (such as recycled glass and metal) that use low impact, sustainable and ethical processes, we employ artisans and craftspeople in a place rich with bead making history.

My new favourite bead store! The most beautifully curated selection of beads. Everything was perfect. I only wish the shipping to Australia wasn’t so expensive otherwise I’d be purchasing from here every other week!
