The Birthstone Bead Charms
Beautifully handmade paper beads for each color of the month! Customize your Paperclip Chain Necklace or Paperclip Chain Bracelet with our unique spin on "Birthstone" beads. The bead comes on a small clasp so that you can attach it to our paperclip necklace or bracelet.
Each bead is made from paper by women in the Horn of Africa. They use colored paper or recycled magazines and measure, cut, roll, and varnish each strip of paper to make a beautiful, unique, bead. Once the beads are dry they are then used to assemble and make jewelry, creating a one-of-a-kind gift for you and your loved ones!

Each paper bead is coated with a non-toxic varnish to make it more durable, but because they are made of paper, please do not wear your jewelry in water.

United StatesI had given these birthstone beads on a Dreamer & Co. bracelet as a wedding gift. It is very well made. She loved it. Then, I ordered me one as well.
