Ostrich Egg Shell Heishi Trade Beads

Ostrich Egg Shell Heishi Trade Beads

Ostrich eggshell heishi beads are a distinctive type of beadwork crafted from the shells of ostrich eggs. Indigenous to Africa, these beads have a rich cultural history and are particularly associated with the San people, who have been creating them for centuries. The term "heishi" refers to the bead's disc-like shape, and the beads are meticulously handcrafted by grinding and shaping pieces of ostrich eggshell into small, uniform discs. The resulting beads are often strung together to form intricate necklaces or jewelry pieces. Ostrich eggshell heishi beads are prized for their unique texture, natural hues, and cultural significance, making them a fascinating and sought-after component of African traditional adornments.

This strand is not intended to be a ready-to-wear necklace. Although the strand can be worn "as is," the string holding it together is not durable and may break with use. For this reason, we recommend that you restring the beads before wearing them.
