Poms Forever aka Donna says:Yes, I love both, too. I bought the coconut shell beads. They are rustic but add texture and interest to a piece. Love all your picks!

Creel U says:I use lots of wood, seed, bone, antler, and coconut wood in my Pagan prayer beads. Glass and stone alone get too heavy and too expensive. Lima Beads carries the coconut and the Job’s Tears, but not a lot of selection in the woods, YET!

dolllady aka Pam says:What a great earthy pick! I bought some of the coconut beads also. I recently purchased some beautiful horn beads that I plan to add to these and some of the LB African beads. I thought that would make a nice lightweight necklace set.

Creel U says:Coconut beads make great spacers when using large hole beads that you don’t want to “swallow” seed beads.
