Indian Brave Beads Peruvian Ceramic | Peruvian Beads | Hand Painted | Handmade in Peru
Collectors of southwestern-style jewelry know how rare it is to find beads with genuine handwork behind them. These Indian Brave beads come out of small workshops in Peru, where artisans shape, paint, and kiln-fire each one individually — a miniature portrait of a brave in his feathered headdress, done in the earthy palette of Andean folk art. No two emerge exactly alike, and that is precisely their appeal.

Each bead measures 0.375" by 0.5" and weighs roughly 1.4 grams, light enough for even delicate earring wires. The stringing hole runs vertically from top to bottom at 1.5-2mm, accommodating thin cord as comfortably as standard beading wire.
In a finished design, these work best as focal accents: drop earrings, charm bracelet additions, or thematic anchors in a strand with southwestern leanings. Their warm pigments settle in naturally beside turquoise, coral, and feather elements. You receive four beads per set — enough for a matched pair of earrings with two left over for whatever the bead board suggests next.
Folk art, scaled down to fit on a wire.
