Either it was a local thing (I originally got the picture at Good Will) or my search skills are lacking. My wife loved it so I wish I could get her a reproduction.
Beans ARE beautiful. https://beaninstitute.com/ https://bean.idaho.gov/bean-facts/ https://usdrybeans.com/ I'm suggesting, buy some beautiful beans, put them in jars and take a picture. And then plant them, harvest them, sprout them, cook them, share them, and save some to grow next year. It's bean done before, and so it can bean done again.
There are definitely jewelry worth bean varieties out there.
I'm thinking P. coccineus earrings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phaseolus_coccineus 3-4 would fit across a standard banana cross section.
Adenanthera pavonina seem particular good for jewelry but maybe it wouldn't be considered a "bean".
Lot's of seeds might be good for jewelry/ adornment. Doubtless we're not the first humans to consider this matter. I'm gonna go out on a botanical limb and say this ain't no bean. And it's darned pretty!
Oh no it is a whole thing in native cultures. The species I linked is a legume but does match the bean form factor.
Very early on we knew seeds were special things.
