Ask anyone who has watched an orca surface from a boat deck and you'll get the same look — half awe, half longing to go back. These beads are for the people chasing that feeling: whale-watch regulars, marine-biology students, aquarium-gift-shop loyalists, and coastal souls in general.

At 1.5 inches long and 0.625 inch tall, this is among the longest beads in our animal lineup, and the orca's sleek body is why the proportion works. The black-and-white patterning — saddle patch, eye spot, white belly — is laid down in clean, high-contrast glaze that won't muddy over time.

The horizontal length makes it a natural pendant: string one on a single length of cord and it swims right at the collarbone. The 2-3mm hole also welcomes leather and hemp for surf-style necklaces, and a pair makes dramatic shoulder-grazing earrings.

Four per set — a pod, appropriately. Each one is painted on its own, so the markings vary a little, the way they do on real whales.
