Coco beads are a bead that is used mainly for jewelry production and home decor. Because they are such unique beads, it is interesting to learn how they are made.
Coco beads are made from the outer shell of the natural coconut. The coco beads are shaped and cut into various sizes and polished to give off a nice natural look and feel. The beads are usually strung together to produce a variety of products, including jewelry and home decor lighting.
Coco beads are a natural and renewable resource; there is an abundance of coconut trees around the world. This makes them a unique choice for home decor products.
Here Are Six Interesting Discoveries About Coco Beads:
1. Coco Beads Are Made From The Coconut
Cocoa bead gets its name from the word coconut. This is because the beads are made from discarded coconut shells.
The cocoa bead uses the outer brown part of the shell to make the bead; this part of the shell is known as the husk-coir of the coconut. The inner part, such as coconut milk or meat, can be used to make coconut oil or for eating and drinking.
2. Each Coco Bead Is Cut Into Different Shapes and Sizes
The Coco Beads are cut in a variety of shapes and sizes. The only limitation to the size of the bead is the size and the curved shape of the natural coconut shell. Some of the most common shapes for the coconut coco beads are a disk, oval, or a round shape.
Because the coconut shells are small, the coco beads are usually smaller beads. Each Coco bead is cut out of the coconut shell and then individually polished and finished.
Once the Coco bead has been cut and polished then a variety of finishes can be placed on the Coco beads. Some of the more common coco bead colors are the natural coconut shell brown color, a white or medium brown.
3. Coco Beads Are Handmade
Coco beads are a handmade product. The Coco beads are made by hand; the Coco beads’ manufacturing requires a lot of handwork in cutting, polishing, and stringing the beads.
Coco beads are a natural handmade bead resource. They are a great bead you can use in the production of jewelry or home decor products.
4. Coco Beads Come From An Abundant Natural Resource
Coco beads are made from an abundant natural resource. Coco beads are not made with plastic or any other type of synthetic resource, but instead, they are made from completely natural resources – the shell of the coconut.
In most parts of the world, coconut is extremely abundant. So much so that many use the water and meat of the coconut for the processing of food or other things, but toss away the outer coconut shell. With Coco beads, this once discarded coconut shell can now be used to make these beautiful coco beads; no part of the coconut is left unused when the coconut is processed.
5. Coco Beads Are Made With A Renewable Resource
Coconut is also considered a renewable resource; Coco beads are made from the Coconut shell so they fall into the category of being made with a renewable natural resource. This is because there is an abundance of coconuts in many parts of the world.
A renewable resource is a resource that can be used repeatedly and does not run out of supplies because it can naturally be replaced. Coconuts fall into that category as there are so many areas of the world that grow coconuts and coconuts can be easily replaced.
6. Coconuts Are Found Around the World.
Coconuts grow throughout the world. Many coconuts grow in Asia’s subtropical coastal regions, such as Vietnam, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Indonesia, Myanmar, and part of China. Coconuts are also prominent in Oceania and the Polynesian islands, along with many parts of Africa. Coconuts also grow in parts of Australia and even the Caribbean. In the United States, coconuts can be found in both Florida and the Hawaiian Islands.
Coconuts grow best in tropical climates where there is abundant rainfall along with warm temperatures. Anywhere n the world with this kind of climate you will probably find some form of coconuts growing.
7. Coco Beads Pair Well With Other Materials
