What to make with them
The tulip shape works beautifully as a pendant drop or spacer focal in necklace and earring designs; try stringing them alternately with seed beads or small rounds to let each carved form stand out, or wire-wrap individual beads for delicate botanical-themed earrings.
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.
