Koi Fish Beads | Hand Painted Peruvian Ceramic | Japanese Pond Jewelry Supplies
Be the first to review this productKoi legend holds that any carp strong enough to climb the waterfall at Dragon's Gate becomes a dragon — which is why the fish stands for perseverance against impossible odds. Brown and bronze koi in particular, the chagoi of pond-keeping lore, are prized as the calmest and friendliest fish in the water.

This bead gives the koi its full flowing form: an elongated 0.375" x 0.75" body in warm browns and amber with white accents, fins trailing as if caught mid-swim. String it head-up or head-down — the proportions hang naturally either way, with a sense of current built into the shape itself.
It suits Japanese-garden and Zen-leaning pieces, perseverance gifts for graduates and career changers, and accent beads on meditation strands. A 1.5-2mm hole leaves room for most stringing wire, silk, and cord. Pair it with water-blue seed beads to give the fish something to swim against, or knot it onto a red silk cord in a nod to its East Asian roots.
A bead for anyone partway up their own waterfall — may this one help them climb it.
