Hand Painted Ceramic Gnome Beads from Peru - Lot of 4 or 10- Choice
No two of these little ceramic gnomes wear quite the same face. Every one is painted freehand by an artisan in Peru, so each bead arrives with its own expression and personality already baked in — literally, since kiln-firing follows the paint and fixes it for good.

In European folklore the gnome is the small guardian of garden and hearth, which is why these beads feel at home in woodland necklaces, fairy-tale bracelets, and cozy winter and Christmas designs. Buyers also put them to work well beyond jewelry: dollhouse and miniature scenes are a recurring favorite use.
Practically speaking, each bead runs 3/8" long with a 1.5–2mm hole, so standard beading wire and most cords pass through without trouble. They sit well next to flower and animal designs from the same Peruvian workshops if you're building out a full storybook palette piece by piece.
Lots come in your choice of 4 or 10 — pick by the size of the project, or take ten and let the spares recruit their own ideas.
Charm Dimensions
Most Xinar charms measure approximately 10–25 mm including bail. Sizes vary by design — check each product's specifications above for exact measurements.
