A Delicate Bracelet Featuring Ancient Agate, Deep Red Whiteheart Beads, Orissa Brass, and Jet Black Beads

This is a delicate bracelet, strung together with ancient agate, deep red whiteheart beads, Orissa brass, and jet black beads. It is adorned with ancient agate, showcasing beautiful stripe patterns. These beads were excavated from the Indus River basin, spanning regions like Pakistan and India, and date back approximately 2000 years. They possess a semi-translucent quality, allowing you to enjoy their beauty when held up to the light! As they are antique, please expect minor scratches. (Ancient Agate Size: 0.6cm width, 0.7cm diameter) The jet black beads are antique seed beads from India. Their worn texture offers a unique charm, a testament to their long history of wear (circa 19th-20th century). Each tiny bead varies in size and shape, creating a rich tapestry of expressions. (Bead Size: 2.3-2.8mm) The deep red beads are antique beads known as whitehearts. They are called this because of the white core, or "heart," within. These are Venetian beads from around the 19th-20th century. Small, deep red whiteheart beads are placed near the clasp. The golden beads and the anchor-like charm next to the whiteheart beads are made of old Orissa brass. These are old and rare beads from the state of Orissa in India. The charm on the clasp is also an antique brass component from India. The slightly curved clasp and the beads on the loop are Karen silver. Each tiny Karen silver bead on the clasp is individually stamped! The thought of them being handcrafted makes one pause... ◇ Karen Silver ◇ This silver is crafted by the hill tribes living in Thailand and Burma. Each piece is handmade, and the silver is said to be of very high purity. The bracelet is strung with waxed cord, which may feel slightly stiff initially but will become supple with wear. This bracelet captivates with its delicate yet commanding presence.
