Product Type: Bracelets

Ebony sapwood beads carry two colors in one wood, and the Cascade Steelroot bracelet from Everwood Original is built from them: black ebony heartwood with pale sapwood streaks running through each 8 mm bead. The result is a strand where every bead splits between dark and light in its own proportion. Each bead is 8 mm, about 0.31 inch, strung on black elastic stretch cord with a stainless steel accent bead.

  • Two colors per bead. Sapwood is the tree's pale outer layer, heartwood the dark core, and a bead cut across the boundary carries both.
  • No two proportions alike. One bead is mostly black with a pale sliver, the next is half and half, and the strand shows the whole range.
  • Pattern without color. Black and cream give the wrist a marked strand that still stays inside a neutral palette.

Sapwood and Heartwood in One Bead

A wood bead bracelet cut from ebony sapwood shows what a tree is made of. The dark heartwood is the mature core, the pale sapwood is the younger ring around it, and a bead turned from the boundary between them holds a piece of each. On an 8 mm sphere the boundary shows as a curved edge between black and cream, and because the boundary is never straight, the edge on each bead is its own line.

Reading the Strand as a Pattern

The strand reads as a pattern of black and cream that no two bracelets share, because the proportion of light to dark on each bead depends on where it was cut. Turn the bracelet on the wrist and the pattern changes as different faces of the beads come to the top. That is the reason to choose sapwood over plain ebony: the plain strand is one color, this one is a different arrangement every time it is put on.

Beaded Bracelet in Black and Cream

A beaded bracelet that mixes black and cream inside each bead sits with any neutral outfit, since it carries no color of its own. It reads as the marked strand beside a plain black watch strap and as the quiet one beside a colored shirt. It comes in three sizes, S/M for a 6 to 7 inch wrist, M/L for 7 to 8 and L/XL for 8 to 9, and Everwood advises the larger size when your wrist sits on a boundary. The steel accent bead adds a third neutral, polished silver, to the black and cream.

Cleaning Two-Tone Wood Beads

The pale sapwood takes skin oil the way any light wood does, while the ebony half does not, so the cream areas warm slightly with wear and the black stays as it is. A dry cloth around the strand each week keeps the contrast sharp. Keep the bracelet off before water: the two woods take moisture at different rates, and a soaked bead can show a faint line where they meet once it dries.

Steelroot Ebony Sapwood in Wear

What is sapwood on a wood bead? The paler outer wood of the tree, which sits around the dark heartwood core. A bead cut across that boundary carries a patch of each.

Do the black and cream areas age the same way? No. The cream sapwood warms slightly from skin contact over months; the black ebony holds its color, so the contrast stays.

Can I choose how much cream is on my strand? Not bead by bead. The proportion is set by where each bead was cut, and every strand carries a range from mostly black to nearly half cream.
