Luxury Beaded Bracelets · the bead table

Beads, strung by hand.

Welcome to Luxury Beaded Bracelets — handcrafted beaded jewelry made with intention in Columbia, SC. From bold bracelets and elegant necklaces to delicate anklets, each piece is designed for him, her, them, and kids who want luxury they can feel. High-quality beads, statement or minimalist styles, and new designs monthly. Because luxury isn’t a price tag — it’s a feeling you deserve, at a price that makes sense.

Loose glass and stone beads in every color, ready to be chosen at Otani's bead table

Sit at the table

Pick your stones. She strings them.

Same private studio, different craft. Book a seat, choose from the trays, and leave wearing a piece Otani finishes in front of you — sized to your wrist, not a chart. Requests go to her personally and she confirms each one.

Request

How pricing works: the seat is free to request, and you pay for the piece you make — her finished bracelets run about $8–$48 in the store, and a design-your-own piece lands in the same range depending on the stones you pick. Otani confirms the details when she accepts your request. Nothing is charged online; you settle at the studio.

Bracelet size guide

Measure the wrist. She adds the comfort.

Wrap a soft tape (or a string, then a ruler) snugly where you’d wear it. Her chart adds roughly an inch to the wrist measurement so the beads sit without pinching. At the table she sizes you in person.

Care & quality

In her words

Although the quality of our beads are the best that are available to us, this is still costume jewelry. Our jewelry is not authentic gold or sterling silver; the metal pieces are gold and silver plated.

Keep them bright

  • Avoid getting your beaded jewelry wet in the shower or pool.
  • Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for long periods of time because the bead colors can eventually fade.
  • Avoid direct contact with lotions, perfumes and other beauty products that can contain harsh chemicals that may damage the beads.

Questions about a piece you bought? Write to her from the contact page or bring it to your next appointment.

Bead party

Bring your people to the table.

Birthdays, girls’ mornings, mother–daughter time. Two to six guests, one finished piece each, Otani at the head of the table the whole time.
