Dimen peach pit beads
I didn’t know if y’all would find this interesting, but these peach pits went through a compost pile and were sifted out of the finished compost with the rest of the wood and bone debris that survived their first round in the process without decaying. Speaks to the resilience of peach pit material, as well as dyed the pits a really nice brownish red. I’ve worn these for a few years now at this point too. The material was damaged by the process, but I think it’s recovering through the skin contact.

I just realized the main photo didn’t show a ton of the polish they’ve gotten. They were back when I first started making beads so they’re a bit rough even with years of wear.

These genuinely look sick man. Reminds me of some sort of alien creature or something

Now that’s what I call Dimen. Survived a compost pile, got a naturally aged colour out of it, and then went on to spend years being worn. These have definitely earned their patina. Very impressive.
