Hand Carved Stacked Big Bead Pendant with Carnelian and Bloodstone

Shaun’s hand-carved beads honor the world’s first art form, inspired by ancient Neolithic beads. Starting from raw stone, he shapes each bead entirely by hand, paying meticulous attention to every detail—from the form to the precision of the perforation—just as our ancestors once crafted. In a world of mass production, he stands among a rare few keeping this tradition alive, creating beads that are not just adornments, but a connection to history.

Carnelian is a vibrant reddish-orange agate, known for its striking color. Ours are collected in the PNW, usually Southwest Washington. Spiritually, it is regarded as a stone of motivation and vitality, believed to boost confidence, stimulate creativity, and promote positive life choices while grounding energy and enhancing overall emotional resilience.

Bloodstone, a dark green variety of chalcedony speckled with red jasper, has been prized for centuries for its striking appearance and legendary properties. Often linked to vitality and strength, this stone was once carried by warriors for courage in battle. Ours is sourced from old collections out of WA, OR, ID, and UT.
