Hourglass Lanyard Beads – Hand-Machined Brass, Copper & Juma
Precision-machined craftsmanship in a distinctive hourglass design.
Add a touch of personality to your everyday carry gear with our Hourglass Lanyard Beads, individually machined by Butterfield Machine from solid brass, copper, or colorful Juma composite.
Featuring a classic hourglass profile with smooth curves and a comfortable shape, these decorative EDC beads are a great way to customize lanyards, backpacks, zipper pulls, and other accessories.
Whether you prefer the timeless appearance of machined metal or the vibrant colors of Juma, each bead combines quality materials with traditional machining craftsmanship.
Choose Your Material
Solid Brass - A classic choice with a warm golden appearance and substantial feel. Brass naturally develops a rich patina over time, giving your lanyard bead additional character with use.
Solid Copper - Featuring a distinctive reddish metallic finish, copper offers a traditional appearance that gradually develops its own unique patina.
Colorful Juma - For something a little different, choose from our colorful Juma options. This decorative composite material features distinctive patterns and vibrant colors, making each bead an eye-catching addition to your EDC accessories.
Classic Hourglass Design
Each bead is individually machined into a distinctive hourglass shape, featuring a narrower center and wider ends. The smooth, contoured profile makes these beads comfortable to handle while adding a unique visual detail to your lanyard or paracord accessories. A 1/4-inch through-hole provides room for threading paracord and other compatible cordage.
