These Clay Beads (hand made) were made in India from the 1980s. With larger holes these Indian clay terra cotta beads  are all hand painted and textured on the surface to create organic beads which is ideal for bohemian style  jewellery designs. Clay is a gift from the earth and it connects us to the energy of the mother archetype within ourselves. It is a reminder to take time to rest, to nurture and to rejuvinate one self. We come from the earth and to the earth we shall return.
