Each bead is painstakingly made by hand, making it a charming and honest piece of art.

Our Story

Earthbutter bead studio is situated in Wellington, a rural community outside Cape Town, South Africa. Earthbutter Beads was started by Desiree Malan to create income opportunities for marginalised women from Wellington, mostly single moms who are unemployed or otherwise seasonal farm workers. Our story is that of many hands working together to make one-of-a-kind beads which will be enjoyed by people the world over.

Design Indaba

Our beads were exhibited in the CCDI's Gift Shop at Design Indaba and sold like hot cakes! The stoneware decor beads were especially popular as were the turquoise raku and black beads. Interior decorators and decor shops take note: handmade ceramic beads adds a touch of authenticity to any decor setting. A leading home decor magazine has declared turquoise as the colour of 2010! Stoneware or biscuit seems to be as popular as ever - a classical colour which will never date.

The decor bead range consists of different lenghts (60cm, 80cm, 100cm and 120cm) with or without a pendant (heart, cross or round flat disk. The colours are matt black, terracotta or stoneware (biscuit).
