Felt Bead Ring -- Haparanda by Madame Bijoux
A beautiful example of felt beads in jewelry! Pictured here is one of my favorites! It's the Haparanda from Madame Bijoux, an Australian indie designer. This super unique & stunning ring is created from pure wool and pearl seed beads. When the wool is wet it is shaped into a durable & washable design. The ring is hand crafted & hand sewn for superb details. Madame Bijoux also had a store on Etsy.
Felt Beaded Ring -- Brown with Blue Beads
This was my favorite Felt Beaded Ring from Madame Bijoux, but it sold out in December 2006! Darn, I hope she decides to make more of these.
This handcrafted ring has a wet felted brown ball mounted on an adjustable sterling silver ring. Pretty seed beads has been added for drama! Wool ball approximately 2 cm diameter. This was spotted at Etsy.
Felt Bead Ring -- White Cotton
This is Cotton from Madame Bijoux! Hand felted smooth ball in white is firmly attached to a silver plated ring. On top sits an opalite faceted rondelle. Size is adjustable to most sizes. Also spotted at Etsy.

Felt Bead Ring -- Lavender
This is Mollie from Madame Bijoux. Hand felted smooth ball in lavender is firmly attached to a silver plated ring. On top sits an opalite and Amethyst rondelle. Size is adjustable to most sizes.
Felt Beaded Rings -- Sculptural and Fabulous
Wow! These are so cool. They're from Chris Rom and Geoff Buddie, a husband and wife team. Their work has been exhibited at Velvet da Vinci Art Gallery in San Francisco!
From the idea stages through the actual creation and execution of the work we draw on each other's strengths for technical and aesthetic excellence. Hand felted wool and hand sculpted stoneware are the main elements we have chosen to express in our vision. The transformation that occurs in the construction of the felt is magical. Boiling water and soap are added to loose wool fibers encouraging little barbs on the fibers to relax and open. Agitating the wool causes the fibers to bind to one another. As a result the fabric shrinks and becomes dense and thick. Later the fabric is put into an acid bath on the stovetop and dyed to the desired color.
Felt Bead Earrings -- Delightfully Dangly
This pair of felt beaded earrings with chain are from Megu Design. They are approx. 7cm including silver plated earring hook and chain with metallic finished glass seed beads. Shown in vivid green with metallic fibre. They're available in a variety of colors.
Felt Bead Bracelet -- Colorful
Etsy is the greatest online site for finding beautiful and creative handcrafted items such as this one!
This fun bubble bracelet was handmade with 100% wool beads. A combination of feltmaking techniques was used to create the multi-colored beads. Colors include orange, blue, blue-green, purple, and hot pink.
Unlike other wool bead bracelets, this bracelet is made from half beads that are dome shaped. This allows the bracelet to sit comfortably flush with your wrist. Each bead is approximately 0.75 inch (2 cm) in diameter and sits 0.5 inch (1.27 cm) high. The bracelet base is a quality silver plated metal with a snap lock closure. It is approximately 8 inches (20 cm) in length. The bracelet was assembled using the industrial strength craft glue E6000 for durability and wear.
This is from thefunkyfelter and sold for $22.00.
