Made by hand

Made by hand
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.

Necklaces



On request from our fashion conscious supporters, we've made these 2 necklaces - they're 105cm long, unglazed, raku and bronze beads strung onto cotton cord. We think they are very hip and at the same time - earthy! What do you think? Please comment below.
