Roots
✨ Hello and welcome to Nature Beads! ✨
I’m Lilly, born in the heart of the Amazon rainforest—a place that will always feel like home to me. I miss the jungle, the greenery, the animals, and the warm, simple people who taught me so much about humility and the beauty of living simply. Growing up there was a gift that continues to shape me, and it was this deep connection to nature that inspired me to create Nature Beads.
Though I’m a biologist by degree, I’ve always been a true Nature Lover. At one point, I even thought of naming my business "Nature Lover," but then I realized that Nature Beads is a little reminder that "Nature" is our true mother and creator—and that’s exactly what I wanted to share with you.
At Nature Beads, we offer a carefully curated selection of beads and jewelry components from all over the world—from small creators to gemstones and specialty items. African goods make up a big part of our product collection, along with many one-of-a-kind treasures that I find during my travels across South America. Each item has a story, and I am so grateful to share them with you.
I’m the hands behind Nature Beads—from product photography to shipping, I handle it all with love and care. I like to think of myself as a bit of a magician, making sure everything is perfectly packed and ready for you to enjoy.
I’m also lucky to have my little sister and my little nephew, and my two loyal shepherds by my side, supporting me every step of the way. They remind me to pause, play, and appreciate the beauty of life, which is something I aim to pass along to you through every piece we create and sell.
Thank you for supporting Nature Beads and the incredible artisans we work with. Your purchase helps empower small businesses across Africa and South America, and I am forever grateful for your kindness.
With gratitude,
Lilly & The NB Team
