Build Quality & Materials
Crafted from solid brass with a natural patina finish, the Christmas Tree Bead features intricate detailing that mimics the texture of a real spruce tree. Each bead is individually handmade, meaning no two are exactly alike. The brass material develops a unique patina over time, making your bead truly one-of-a-kind.

What sets this bead apart is its thematic resonance. The spruce tree shape is instantly recognizable and evokes a sense of nostalgia and warmth. The bead's proportions are carefully balanced — not too large to be cumbersome on a knife lanyard, yet substantial enough to be visible and tactile. The brass construction gives it a satisfying weight that enhances the feel of any lanyard, providing a comfortable grip point when deploying your knife.
