The fruits of plants and trees, along with woods as natural materials, are used to create worry beads. Notably, Ebony wood is considered the most durable wood. It is available in pure black and black with brown highlights, making it a tough material that withstands heavy use.

Among the fruits, the fruit of the Kuka tree stands out, as it is brown in color and resembles a coconut. Beads made from tree fruits and woods garner interest and are among the top choices for worry beads.
