Karnataka Bead
Taxes inclues
Rich in heritage and full of intricate detail, the Karnataka Bead draws inspiration from the traditional tribal jewellery of Southern India’s Karnataka region. Designed to slide onto hoop earrings or hoop hangers, it transforms a simple hoop into a statement piece, adding rhythm, texture, and cultural depth to your style.
Handcrafted with precision, its three-dimensional form is sculpted with carved and embossed geometric shapes that echo the motifs of Karnataka’s tribal artistry. Each bead is a testament to skilled craftsmanship, bringing both tradition and bold character into modern jewellery design. Versatile and expressive, it can be mixed and matched across different hoop sizes and styles, making it a dynamic accent for your collection.
The Karnataka Collection channels the spirit of ancestral adornment: bold, symbolic, and meant to be worn as a living expression of identity. With this bead, you’re not only accessorising, but also carrying a piece of history reimagined for modern self-expression.

Jewellery with a story
Founded in London in 1998, Tribu was built on one simple idea: jewellery should mean something. Every piece we create is designed to express individuality, not trends - crafted for people who choose their own path and wear it with confidence.
From tribal roots to modern expression
Our early collections helped pioneer tribal-inspired jewellery with a modern edge. Over the years, that influence has evolved into designs shaped by sacred geometry, spirituality, yoga culture and urban gypsy style - blending heritage with contemporary form.
Designed to stand apart
We work with a wide mix of materials, organic woods, stones and shells combined with silver, gold and metals, pushing boundaries while staying true to our roots. Tribu exists to explore what jewellery can be, not what it’s expected to be.
