Koala Beads | Hand Painted Peruvian Ceramic | Australian Animal Jewelry Supplies
The word koala is often traced to an Aboriginal term meaning "no drink," because the animal draws nearly all its water from eucalyptus leaves — and naps up to twenty hours a day besides. As spirit animals go, it stands for calm, rest, and the underrated wisdom of doing less.

This bead concentrates all that drowsy charm into a face measuring 0.375 by 0.5 inches: round fluffy ears, a broad black nose, and half-closed painted eyes in soft grey and warm brown. The expression lands somewhere between serene and smug, which is precisely correct for a koala.
A 1.5-2mm hole strings it onto cord, chain, or wire with no trouble. It suits wildlife bracelets, gifts for Australia lovers, kawaii-style charm jewelry, and backpack zipper pulls for kids who already know every marsupial by name. It also makes a gentle, knowing gift for new parents running on too little sleep.
Hang it somewhere you will see it on stressful days. The koala's advice never changes: rest first, then decide.

Adorable little bead. I have created a wildlife bracelet for myself and these lil guys were the perfect addition. I have purchased several beads from this seller - all awesome. I wear them every day and they hold up perfectly. Thank you!
