Cougar Bead | Peruvian Ceramic Beads | Mountain Lion Jewelry
Be the first to review this productA mountain lion marks the moments when someone finds their nerve — a new job in a new city, a solo trek, a season of doing hard things alone. That makes this hand-painted cougar bead a natural choice for jewelry commemorating personal courage, whether you're crafting a gift for a graduate or a piece honoring your own fresh chapter.

Artisans in Peru shape and paint every bead themselves, then kiln-fire the glaze so the cat's golden-brown coloring and watchful expression stay vivid through years of handling. The square format measures 1 inch on each side, with a 2-3mm stringing hole that accepts most cords and heavier wire.
A bead this size carries a design rather than accenting one. Let it anchor a wildlife necklace, hang a pair as statement earrings, or build a bracelet of earth tones around it. Fired ceramic is tougher than it looks and stands up to everyday wear without losing color.
Each set includes four beads, and because every one passes through an individual painter's hands, no two cats wear quite the same expression.
Charm Dimensions
Most Xinar charms measure approximately 10–25 mm including bail. Sizes vary by design — check each product's specifications above for exact measurements.
