Cinnabar Beads and Wood Beads

Wood, abundant and easily workable, was one of the first materials used for bead adornment and jewelry making in early human history. Intricately carved or just roughly polished, wood beads are natural beauties. See this for yourself with Chinese Cinnabar in red, black and green lacquer or in elaborately crafted wood beads from the Philippines. We also offer beautiful natural wood jewelry boxes and lacquer boxes in many shapes.
