At The Anaya Collections, we’ve always believed that jewellery is more than just something you wear — it’s something you feel. Every piece tells a story, and some stories travel across oceans before they land in your hands. One such story is that of the Japanese Tensha bead.

A Little Piece of Japan in Every Bead

The word Tensha means transfer in Japanese, and that’s exactly how these beads are made — by transferring intricate designs onto their surface. But it’s not just a printing process. It’s an art form.

Centuries ago, Japanese artisans would sit patiently for hours, hand-painting flowers, leaves, and beautiful patterns on wooden dolls, beads, and everyday objects. It was slow, soulful work, where each stroke mattered. Over time, this method evolved into a delicate decal-printing process — allowing them to create these beautiful designs with perfect detail while still keeping that handmade charm.

Lightweight, Durable, and Oh-So-Pretty

Tensha beads are typically made from acrylic or glass, making them lightweight — perfect for all-day wear. And they’re coated with a clear acrylic layer that protects the design from scratches and fading, so the colours stay as vibrant as the day they were made.

Each bead is a little different, carrying tiny variations that make it truly unique — just like the person wearing it. And the designs? They’re inspired by Japan’s rich culture: delicate flowers in bloom, graceful leaves, and sometimes even glimpses of traditional patterns that have been loved for generations.

From Our Hands to Yours

We personally source these authentic Japanese Tensha beads from skilled artisans, bringing them to our workshop here in India. And that’s where the magic continues.

We use these beads to create:

• Elegant malas for everyday wear and special occasions
  
  
• Statement earrings that turn heads without weighing you down
  
  
• Custom pieces for real gold jewellers who want to add something unique to their creations
  
  

The colours are a dream to work with — deep ruby reds, ocean blues, soft pinks, cheerful yellows, and crisp whites. They blend beautifully with 18k gold-plated hallmark chains, semi-precious stones, and charms to create jewellery that feels both timeless and fresh.
