Excitement Over New Shell Bead Samples

Writer's picture: Hessle CliffHessle Cliff

As a suppler of beads for jewellery making, few things thrill me more than the arrival of new samples, especially when they are as unique as my latest shipment. Today, I'm bursting with excitement because my new bead samples have finally arrived, and they're lovely. These beads are crafted from sea and freshwater shells, each one a tiny piece of nature.

The Beauty of Nature in Every Bead

There's something incredibly special about working with materials that come from the natural world. Shells, in particular, hold a certain magic. Each one tells a story of the waters it once called home, the gentle waves and the vibrant ecosystems. The beads in this collection are made from both sea and freshwater shells, offering a delightful variety of colors, shapes, and textures.


There's a broad range of hues, with iridescent surfaces that catch the light in the most mesmerizing ways.

Endless Creative Possibilities

The possibilities seem endless. The smooth, pearly finishes of the beads would make a beautiful focal points for necklaces and bracelets. Picture delicate earrings that shimmer like the ocean at sunset. The more rustic textures of some of the shell beads are perfect for adding an earthy, organic feel to designs, ideal for creating pieces that are both elegant and grounded.

Crafting with Sustainability in Mind

Another reason I'm so excited about these shell beads is their sustainability. Using natural materials is not only more environmentally friendly than synthetic materials, but (in my opinion) are also more unique and beautiful.

Sharing the Journey

Looking at these beads, I'm excited to potentially put together a new product for the future. There’s something profoundly satisfying about transforming natural materials into wearable art. I hope to keep readers up to date with progress with this new product launch.


Happy crafting!
