Azaz Pink Glass Bead on Cord

The Azaz Collection features magical hand-blown glass beads made by Mohammad Twam in a village outside of Ramallah, Palestine. The Azaz Collection is a rainbow of translucent coloured beads, inspired by ancient Phoenician glass of the 1st Century BC.

The collection ranges from single-bead pendants to full beaded bracelets and necklaces, with a twinkling of hand-blown glass earrings. Thick glass beads in tones of teal, amber, and rose were inspired by ancient stone beads that have been worn, handled, and loved for centuries, altering the shape of the bead over time. The Azaz collection feels both ancient and modern, pendants of sensual clusters of bean, seed and pod shapes, strings of uneven beads soft and comforting to the touch, bracelets like strings of worry beads, and earrings like coloured globules. 

We are very proud to partner with Turquoise Mountain and the talented Mohammad Twam and his family to help support this beautiful craft in challenging times.
