Additional Beads
Olive Wood Beads
We source our olive wood beads directly from Jerusalem / the Holy Land. Olive wood is one of the first materials or beads Meredith started using when she was first experimenting and learning to make jewelry. We have sourced our olive wood from numerous places, but have always gone back to our original supplier, a small family owned and operated business based out of Jerusalem. Their business has been in the family for multiple generations, and their olive wood is unmatched.
We love olive wood for it's beauty and unique veins, and also because it's one of the most durable wood beads to use in jewelry and only gets better and richer in color with age and wear.
