Water Polo Ball Beads - Hand Painted Ceramic Sports Beads from Peru
The pebbled grip-texture of a regulation water polo ball, reproduced in paint on a ceramic sphere just 3/8" across — this little bead gets the details of the sport right. Water polo players almost never find jewelry made specifically for their game, which makes a bead like this one genuinely hard to come by.

Artisans in Peru form each bead from clay by hand, paint the ball's distinctive surface pattern with care, then fire the piece in a kiln so the colors are permanently sealed. Because every bead passes through human hands, small differences from one to the next come with the territory — evidence of real handwork rather than factory molding.
The 2-3mm stringing hole accepts beading wire, cord, or leather lace without a struggle. Work one into a team-colors bracelet, anchor a tournament keychain with it, or string several together for an end-of-season gift the whole roster will recognize on sight.
Coaches, club players, water polo parents, and masters swimmers all have occasions that call for something this specific — and very few shops carry it.
