These 5mm natural shell heishi beads bring an earthy, organic quality to your work that glass and plastic simply can't replicate — each disc cut from real shell carries subtle natural variation in its lavender purple tone.

The color reads as a soft, muted lavender purple with the warm, slightly translucent depth you get from natural shell — no two beads are identical.

What to make with them

Heishi discs stack and drape beautifully, making them a go-to for continuous strands in layered necklaces, stretch bracelets, and hair ties; their flat profile also works well as spacers between larger focal beads in boho or tribal-inspired designs.

Natural materials vary in color, pattern, and size. The beads you receive may differ slightly from the product photos — this is a characteristic of natural materials, not a defect.
