Made in the U.S.A. exclusively for the White House Historical Association, this exclusive collection features beautiful handmade Tensha beads sourced from Osaka, Japan, and painted with a delicate cherry blossom flower. Genuine pearl accent bead.

First Lady Helen Herron Taft dreamed of planting cherry trees along the Tidal Basin, just south of the White House, and in 1912 her wish was realized with a gift of thousands of trees from Japan. Now more than 100 years old, the mature blossoms are celebrated each spring with a festival and parade in Washington, D.C.
