[Contentment is Happiness] Wild High-Oil Same-Tree Monkey-Head Walnut Hand-Carved Pumpkin Bead Bracelet

**Contentment is Happiness** The melon bead is an ancient form, a traditional collectible with a long history. Many collectibles today still feature melon bead motifs. Melon beads crafted from monkey-head walnuts are particularly lustrous and smooth, with each lobe plump and prominent, featuring elegant lines. Whether used as accent beads or as a standalone bracelet, they are a unique and charming category of carvings that bring immediate joy! A recommended piece personally selected by our designer! **Monkey-Head Walnut** The name is an affectionate term given by enthusiasts, inspired by the fruit's shape and shell texture resembling a monkey's head. Its original name is black walnut. It possesses good oil content and a thick flesh, making it ideal for carving and subsequent polishing. Compared to olive pits, it's less delicate to handle during the polishing process, developing a more translucent appearance over time! **Craftsmanship** Natural old-growth wood from the Taihang Mountains is chosen as the raw material for carving. Monkey-head walnuts from the same tree are selected for their high density and oil content, perfect for later care and handling. These pumpkin beads are hand-carved in three dimensions, boasting full forms, smooth lines, and auspicious meanings. They are exquisite and pleasing to the eye! Paired with high-quality, original ore turquoise beads and a "Contentment is Happiness" carving made from mammoth ivory, they are plump and adorable! The overall design of the bracelet is simple and elegant, with a subdued color palette. The size is suitable for both men and women to wear and polish. Made from natural materials, it will evolve beautifully with the passage of time! **Specifications** Monkey-head walnut size: 11mm Turquoise bead weight: 1.89g Turquoise size: 11.8mm Contentment is Happiness carving: 17×10×8.5mm **Polishing and Care** For the first week upon arrival, it is recommended to keep it indoors, away from direct sunlight, water, or direct air conditioning drafts.
