A delicate bracelet featuring antique Bohemian beads, cinnabar beads, granular brass, Roman glass, multi-colored sky blue seed beads with cinnabar white hearts, and old Orissa brass.

This is a delicate bracelet crafted by connecting antique Bohemian beads, cinnabar beads, granular brass, Roman glass, and various sky blue seed beads with cinnabar white hearts, along with old Orissa brass. The clear, oval beads are Bohemian beads from the early 20th century. They bear marks of age, which only adds to their incredibly charming character! (Bohemian bead dimensions: 0.85cm width, 0.65cm height) The deep pink beads are rare cinnabar beads, colored with gold. These are Venetian beads from the 19th-20th century. Tiny cinnabar beads are also scattered within the sky blue sections. The granular beads are brass beads made by the Benin people of Africa, featuring incredibly intricate craftsmanship. The slender blue beads are Roman glass, dating back to the Roman Empire (27 BCE – 395 CE). These elongated beads were formed from circular bangles, giving them a slight curve. The varied sky blue beads are antique seed beads from India, with a worn texture that speaks to their history of being cherished and worn over time (circa 19th-20th century). Each bead varies in size and shape, creating a richly expressive, tiny ensemble. (Seed bead dimensions: 2.3-2.8mm) The subdued red beads are antique beads known as White Hearts, named for the white core. These are Venetian beads from the 19th-20th century. Their deep red hue comes from the use of gold in coloring, making them rare cinnabar White Hearts. The anchor-shaped charms next to the golden beads and larger cinnabar beads are old Orissa brass from the Indian state of Orissa, making them old and rare beads. The clasp charm is also an old brass part from India. The clasp and ring beads that curve gently are Karen silver. The tiny Karen silver beads on the clasp are individually stamped—a testament to painstaking, handcrafted detail. ◇Karen Silver◇ This silver is crafted by the mountain-dwelling people of Thai Burma. Each piece is handmade, and it is said to be of very high purity. Connected with waxed cord, it may feel slightly stiff at first but will soften beautifully with wear.
