These 1.5-inch-long handmade bone or horn hairpipe beads are perfect
for making bracelets, chokers, necklaces and breastplates in the Native
American style or adding as accents to your leathercraft project. To
the best of our knowledge, the black-colored and white-colored hairpipe
are made from bone and the red-colored and yellow-colored hairpipe are
made from horn, with all hairpipe being sourced from the Water Buffalo
in India, not the North American Bison as some might lead you to
believe. Since this is a handmade natural item, and not a mass-produced
machine-made plastic product, each hairpipe bead is unique, and you
should expect to have slight variations in each hairpipe’s length,
width, weight, color, shape and location of the centerhole, and with
some possible imperfections - just like if you made them yourself out in
the wilderness. Hairpipe is traditionally widest in the middle and
tapers to be narrowest at the ends. In general, hairpipe made from bone
will be heavier in weight than hairpipe made from horn. Yellow-colored
hairpipe will actually appear to be dark amber in color rather than the
more familiar bright yellow color.
The drilled centerhole is approximately 2 millimeters in diameter.
Each order contains 100 hairpipes.
