History of Heishi

Heishi (pronounced "hee shee") are small disc shaped beads made of organic shells or ground and polished stones. It is possible that heishi could be the oldest form of jewelry in North America. The oldest specimens of heishi dates back to around 6000 BCE. The Santo Domingo and San Felipe Pueblo Indians are well known for beautiful heishi jewelry. Previously it would take anywhere from 2 - 7 days to produce heishi by hand. Today, heishi beads are commonly mechanically mass-produced from natural materials.

Sizing

Please make sure to accurately measure your wrist before ordering. We do not offer returns or exchanges for resizing.

Custom sizing is available upon request.

Care Instructions

Since heishi beads are made from natural materials, it is highly recommended that you keep your bracelets dry and away from water, chemicals, beauty products, etc. This will keep them looking nice and allow for them to last longer. This is one of the reasons that we string our bracelets on stretchy cord - it allows for you to easily take them on and off your wrist as needed.
