*This item is reserved for "J-sama." *This represents the difference in price for an exchange. This bracelet is crafted by connecting Tokcha, Old Tibetan Turquoise, Ancient Agate, Mizoram Carnelian, Ancient Crystal, Gold-Red White Heart beads, and Old Indian Silver charms, among other elements. The slightly larger, flower-like component is a Tokcha from Tibet, believed to be a Tibetan amulet brought forth from the heavens by the god of thunder. This piece was included among prayer beads. Made of white copper, it's a metal component with a substantial feel and a cool aesthetic enhanced by the fine scratches accumulated over time. (Tokcha size: Width 1cm, Height 1.1cm, Thickness 0.5cm) The Old Tibetan Turquoise dates back approximately 100 to 200 years (it might be even older). It was acquired from someone who personally sourced it in Tibet. Turquoise is also known as a "Fallen Skystone." Since ancient times, it has been revered as a sacred stone in various cultures. In Tibet, it has even been used medicinally. It is one of the stones passed down and worn for thousands of years. This turquoise has a three-dimensional texture and a charming character. (Turquoise size: Width 0.9cm, Height 0.9cm, Thickness 0.5cm) A single small Ancient Agate bead has been incorporated. This agate was excavated in Afghanistan. Beautiful stripes and gradients can be observed. It's a cool bead with a unique charm, bearing the marks of wear and abrasion from age. (Ancient Agate size: Width 0.5cm, Diameter 0.8cm) The orange bead is Mizoram Carnelian. This is a well-preserved piece from around the 18th century, originating from the Mizoram state in eastern India. Its deep orange color, reminiscent of a ripe persimmon, is captivating! While it has some scratches, these only add to its profound character. (Mizoram Carnelian size: Width 0.6cm, Diameter 0.6cm) The Ancient Crystal was excavated in Afghanistan and dates back approximately 1500 years to the Roman era. It possesses a beautifully smooth, oval shape. Though it has minor scratches, these feel endearing when contemplating its long history. *There is a slight chip, but it does not affect normal use. (Ancient Glazed Crystal size: Width 1cm, Height 0.65cm) The deep red bead is an antique bead known as White Heart. It's named this because its core (heart) is white. These are beads from Venice, dating to around the 19th-20th century. The subdued red color is achieved by using gold to create the red hue, hence its designation as "Gold-Red White Heart," a rare type of bead. (Gold-Red White Heart size: 4mm) An Emerald Blue Indo-Pacific bead has been added for a touch of color. The origins of Indo-Pacific beads are traced back to the 2nd century BC. This particular bead is an excavated item from Indonesia, dating an astonishing 1000 years or more, to around the 10th century! The壺-shaped components sandwiching the Tokcha, Old Tibetan Turquoise, and Ancient Agate are made of Old Chin Silver. These are well-preserved pieces from around the 18th-19th century, originating from Burma. They were used by Chin women for necklaces and other adornments, displaying unique wear and endearing marks. Their substantial feel and presence are incomparable to modern silver (though modern pieces can also be beautiful...). These beads are truly rare and quite precious! The anchor-like charm next to the golden bead and Ancient Agate is Old Orissa Brass. These are old and rare beads from the state of Orissa in India. The charm on the clasp is antique Indian silver, crafted between the 19th and early 20th century. With continued wear, it is expected to develop a unique luster. The figure depicted in the center is the god Shiva (also known as 'Bell God'). (Size: Height 1.7cm, Width 1.4cm - including the loop.) The slightly curved clasp and the beads on the loop are Karen Silver. Each small Karen Silver bead on the clasp is individually stamped! It's almost overwhelming to think that all of this is done by hand... ◇ Karen Silver ◇ This is silver crafted by the mountain-dwelling ethnic group of Thailand and Burma. Each piece is handmade, and it is said to have a very high purity. Connected with waxed cord, it may feel slightly stiff initially but will become supple with wear. This bracelet evokes a sense of history, connecting materials from various countries and eras.
