Crazy about coco beads
Coconut trees are known in the Philippines as “the tree of life” so many products are yielded from their bows-products that go well beyond the expected. One of the more fabulous claims is of the legendary “coconut pearl” whether hoax or real they are included in important botanical collections including London’s prestigious Kew Gardens.
More down to earth “gems” are yielded from the coconut tree in the form of beads made from coco shell. Coco shell beads are very hard and come in a myriad of colours and shapes with a beautiful natural glow to them, they are dyed with the natural texture and finish of the material shining through much the way a tinted varnish enhances rather than covers a wood finish.
Coco beads are a fun and inexpensive way to create fashionable summer looks from beach dude to Hawaiian princess, coco beads can spice up tropical looks for a summer fun. They are rugged enough for guys to wear a la "Brad Pitt" and have the cache of being cool beach wear for The O.C. look. The coconut and the coco beads are natural fits for the beach/summer scene.
